    Send her across Daddles, grab a bit but not too much Bob and then kick it across here.

    They forecast strong Northerly winds prior to any rain which will play havoc for the people around Walhalla and Sawmill Settlement. We are OK here but not getting cocky.

    Looking at the radar there should be a good bit of rain coming over, Rob. We just had a fine sprinkle but there looks to be plenty coming through Nagambie and Shepparton, which should come through to you.

    The latest radar. Looks good to come through your area.

    I certainly hope so, Dan, we've had a couple of periods of strong gusts today; the last bad enough to put a tree in our swimming pool... I've just come in after taking the chainsaw for a run

    But not even the slightest hint of a sprinkle. These winds are gonna make our boys lives a misery if there's not some serious rain following hard behind...

    Been pretty gusty here too. Hopefully they get enough rain to knock the go out of the fires. We're getting a bit of rain here now. Not enough to even wet a big fire but it's better than the nothing we've had for the last couple of months.

    It's very heavy here. if this gets to the right place, the fire will be out very quickly.

    bugger :mad:

    It's started again here, just light but the cloud is very thick and low.


    edit 2 minutes later....it's heavy again, not like before but good enough.

    Just had our first drops... a few brazillian gallons in 5 mins, then stopped. Looks like more though... a lot more.

    There must've been a BBQ on one of the hills between your place and ours, Gumby, so the clouds lingered for a while...

    We got about 15 - 20mm here, enough to knock the fire down a bit, but you'd need about 100mm to really put a dent in it. Interested to see how much WB got.

    Should give the boys a well earned rest though.
