Crazy Bush Fire Lemon Tree Passage 9/18/2011

I got some mad crazy video of a bush fire (forest fire for you non-Aussies) started by some kids. It was raging up and down the other side of the road from our neighborhood.

I had never seen a huge fire like that up close. Pretty crazy stuff! Had to get out of there because the smoke was getting so bad it was getting hard to breathe. I don't know how the firefighters do it.

It's still burning up the peninsula as I upload this. I'm praying the wind dies down as if it spreads up the peninsula we won't be able to get out for a while. There's only one road on and off Tiligerry Peninsula. :-O

@Griskard Hahaha... yeah.... it was a big deal for me. I never saw a bush fire before. Pretty intense. You guys did a FANTASTIC job putting it out. Probably all in a day's work, hey?

Glad you guys got a good laugh out of it. ;)

Thank God for the winds keeping it from spreading in further directions as well!

@GreenSmokeElectric You in the Tanilba area for long?

[GreenSmokeElectric]

@Griskard Sure, I live on Diggers. Married a beautiful Aussie girl and have kids. My spousal visa is almost finished. Yay! Then on to become a citizen of this great land! It's much more peaceful here than in the States.

I do wish we had a better choice of restaurants here tho. Bel Piatto in Medowie is outstanding tho! You gotta try it! Yummmmmmmmy!!
