Guys

Pip, I the house and taltara are ok. The fire reached the edge of the road across from us (we face the Mt Arawang Reserve), but did not cross apart from some isolated spot fires. Several dozen houses were destroyed in Chapman, a few hundred metres down the road. Danger is not passed for Canberra, but our own area is pretty much burned out. Much of the city is still without power.

We have no power, no phone apart from mobile, no sewerage, no gas and polluted water. Power may not be restored for a week or more - the fire storm that blew apart our mountain took out every third or fourth power pole.

Please pass this on if necessary to my usual haunts. I don't know at this stage when things will return to normal: we may have to move out of home for a week or so.

More when I can. Thanks for your concern.

Cheers

John

John, I really hope this calms down enough not to threaten the area where you live, or anywhere else of course. Living as I do in what must be one of the quietest little corners of the globe (no quakes, no bushfires, no tornadoes, no floods, pretty much nothing to exite you) I can only imagine what's it's like.

Take care
