Bushfire season actually began a couple of months ago. It varies from area to area but tends to run from October to March.
A hollow, gutted 'Fuck...' about describes it. I have family in the areas, and so much family history in Western Gippsland. As far as my parents and I know all the living are safe, although some have certainly been close to fronts. If anywhere is 'my' country, western Gippsland is it.
I'm waiting to see if St. Jambulance down here will be coming north to relieve Victorian crews. I'm on the shortlist to go. Dad's been working solidly at 3SJ as a comms operator and will be spending a large chunk of the week there I think.
