Sitting here at reception, an eerie reddish-brown light outside, the wind's whipping the trees into a frenzy, clouds of smoke roiling around the sky the smell of burning eucalyptus trees...
here's a pic I took just outside the door
going home now.

Stay safe everyone...
check on your neighbours and make sure you have all your valuables and important papers ready to go if needed.
It is a start reminder we live in a country that is prone to floods and fires and everything inbetween...

Please, please be safe everyone. Those fires are terrible and so many houses lost. Who knows how many people?
We were having pouring rain and hailstorms here, and as I watched it all, I prayed that the fierce winds would blow the rain to the fire areas. The extremes of weather is unbelievable. Unfortunately we can not controll nature.
