Hi Belinda.  Where do you live.  We are on north coast nsw -Grsfton.  Fires  all around but not in town.  Stay safe.

Viv        by the way weare in  Grafton.

Oh Viv that’s awful - stay safe!

I’m In a little town called Bulahdelah - about 30 - 40km south of Nabiac and the highway, until yesterday morning, from here north was closed from Friday, very scary. I work in Taree and have had to take the week off due to the devastation. So many have lost everything :(

The smoke has been dreadful too, I’m just so grateful that I don’t have asthma. 
 

Please take care and stay safe xx

We are safe in town. The atmosphere is so...smoky. who would want a ciggie at a time like this.  I know Buladelah..you go through it on the way to Sydney.  Is that still on the way to Sydney?

Lol, I know....far too smoky! Yes Bulahdelah is on the way to Sydney still...apparently there are plans to put in a huge service centre here rather like the Twin Servos at Ourimbah. And there’s a large building development allotment sitting in front of council....I’ve only been living here since June, was at Tea Gardens for about 3.5 years before that, and was in Perth, WA before that. 
Life takes us in funny places sometimes
