Sorry about the lack of posts lately - partly a lack of information coming in, but mostly that we had to prepare for a major burn around the properties in the corner of Vinegar Hill near just west of Wallers Road (Beech Road, Outlook Crescent, Forestry Road, and Pine Road).
Events moved too quickly to be able to send out emails or put in in this blog, and the group of landowners involved was so small that it was quicker to communicate by phone.
The priority in this sector yesterday afternoon was to deal with the fire where it was very close to the bulldozed containment line between Wallers Road and Beech Road. Once the fire crews had organised for backburning this area, attention shifted to planning the backburn from the properties off Outlook Crescent and then down Forestry Road. This burn started in the late evening from our place (as the highest in the area), and then proceeded around the boundaries to the south and north.
I'm expecting reports on what has happened in the Ergon-Long / Whipbird Drive area on northern Seventeen Mile Road, and Sandy Creek Road in the next couple of hours.
