As I've been uploading the shadehouse photos to flickr and writing the last entry, I've had the radio on, the bushfires raging in the Grose Valley of the Blue Mountains has again jumped containment lines and is threatening the small towns of Hazlebrook and Linden. It started 10 days ago from lightning strikes in inaccessable country.
The sky over Sydney is brown with smoke and the wind is hot and fierce.
So far no properties have been lost but it's getting closer to built up areas.
...and the native animal losses we will probably never know, except for those who are found with burns.
It's not just the Blue Mountains, there are about 60 separate fires being fought around the state.
Summer in Australia isn't all surf and beaches.
