Don't think I've seen reports affecting Adelaide in any big way, and anyway, the big cities are unaffected (Apart from the emotion) by this event. It's 99% rural Victoria.

All the fires in NSW are under control now, and we've had some rain and very cool temperatures, so that'll help.

But I agree with 4_play, if you build in a fire prone zone, expect fire (However it starts). I used to live in Wellington, NZ. We'd get an earthquake, one we could feel anyway, almost every other day. The "big one" is just around the corner.

He lives in a very rural suburb surrounded by trees... Nothijg compared to VA though.

In thay case - he's at greater risk of death through boredom

He has sold his soul to SA for a certain amount of time, before he can move back to Sydney.

Yes Klaatu, no argument on how the fire were started. I was commenting on the extreme effects of the fires compared with those in a normal year.

Mrs Leslie lived in Wellington for seven years and she well remembers all the mini earthquakes. She said you just get used to it. Hope it doesn't suddenly all combine into a monster one anyway.
