THE BIG SMOKE*

 * No, not the city.

This is from a big fire that raged up here yesterday.



Isn't that a fascinating photograph? It was taken by the local newspaper and I'm sure will be seen again at photographic competitions.

The chopper was filling the water bucket from the bay and dousing the flames from a very large scrub fire not far away. The local fire station alarm sounded twice within a half hour and all of the resources were sent plus at least one machine from town.


Exciting stuff.

It all goes on in The Heads

We've got bigger ones up here.

No you haven't, just creeks full of golf balls and a Cossy club.

No Covid cases though. Jacinda is keeping us safe.*
