We're South of the Wimmera and East of the South Australian coast. That puts us between the two danger areas. Bit of a worry. Any fires to the North or West could be a problem, especially as that's the way the wind's blowing. No problems yet except that the temperature's soaring to over 43 degrees. We're not near forest, though. We should be OK. Off to put ice-blocks in the bird watering dishes. The young Mudlark I had in care, with heat exhaustion, last year has produced three babies. He and his wife are flying back and forth with food for them. Wish we could get close enough to spray them with water. Hell of a time to raise a family. Cheers, Joy
