Yes, but we haven't had very much to this point where usually you at least see something through January, and then, all at once...
The biggest fire still burning started spitting distance south of Beechworth, skirted around the edge, and is heading in the general direction of Yackandandah.
I know it's small of me, but I'm praying to who'll listen that Beechworth, Yack, Stanley, and that area don't get the holocaust (and I mean that in all literalness) that happened to Marysville and Kinglake. I know Beechworth and Yack, they're a small part of me.
The stories coming out of there are that people didn't even know that they were in danger until there were 40 foot flames at the back door, and then it was too late.

131 dead now, and they've just begun to look.
