I've been keeping an eye on them as well-- the Hunter fires aren't that far from me. Too far to see or smell the smoke, but still close to my general area. I am thankful once again that I live in one of the wettest areas of the state.

I'll send some good thoughts to riven_scythe and his family.

There's supposed to be a southerly chnage tonigt, but I am afraid it'll just blow the fires up more. No rain in the forecast for the Hunter 'til Tuesday night. :-( Hope VIC ad SA get some relief.
