Calm so far. Out here in the West of the state it's still cool and still. Two grass fires burning to the south-east. They shouldn't be a problem.

The Yarra Valley, where my daughter is, is waiting and watching. So far no problem with the fire still burning to the north-east of them. Our main worry is a fire breaking out in a new area.

The fire in the national park of Wilson's Promontory isn't a problem in human terms, but it's a really serious one for wildlife and because of its unique flora. The whole Promontory will probably burn. The fire has jumped to nearby Snake Island. These fires jump water and kilometres of cleared ground making the idea of cleared areas around homes, in bushland, sound a bit simplistic.
Cheers, Joy
