Well the smell of smoke seems to be such a constant thing at the moment but I'm sure glad I don't live on the Island!! The things they have had to put up with in the last week must have been such a frightening time. No electricity, conserving water for fighting fires, and not just the smell of smoke, but living in a cloud of smoke. There has been no property loss and no loss of life. Human life that is, I cannot even imagine the amount of loss of wildlife. This would have been absolutely horrific.
The fires are still burning. QFES, SES, QPS, congratulations to all of you for such a terrific job. Storms are forecast for today, some severe ones we are told, let's hope the rain gets to Stradbroke Is. and puts all the fires out!!
View from the mainland is usually lovely and clear with Straddie stretching full length of the photo.
