monday 15th Jan am

Can't sleep any more because the dozers have been working all night across the road to do a back burn.

after having put out the wildfire that was on the top of the hill above the pines on Sat, they decided last night to then burn the rest of the hill!

I believe they call this containment, but it looks like vandalism to me! I suppose they know what they are doing.


So I sat in the lounge chair in the dark and watched the sound and light show on the hill.


Unfortunately, that means our house water supply has been damaged .
Also the shed on the top has gone, and sorry, andrew so has the Merc.
Don't know about the chestnuts or waratahs, but probably all gone too.

As for all the wildlife…I can’t bear to think about them.

I'm really sorry about the extent of damage you guys have suffered. How could they be so careless with the destruction they've caused to your pipelines? I can't imagine the many days...actually weeks?... of very hard work that has gone into those pipelines, and now with such a set back caused by careless irresponsibility I don't blame you for being livid. What is the good of protecting your property when they have damaged the very system that conserves your livelihood? And I trust Mikes opinion of their futile backburning which will further drain your life support that you so preciously conserve. It must be heartbreaking......and yes I too can't bear to think of the feathered and furry souls.
