Just an update on the fires in the state of Victoria, Australia:
Massive fire fronts, 26 people confirmed dead with death toll of up to 40 expected. Loss of property in lots of little towns throughout the state, with a couple of towns totally wiped out.
Fires in the Bunyip Forest and Tonimbuck areas (site of the 2009 Tom Quilty Gold Cup to be held in September) could cause problems!
Meanwhile, massive flooding in the north of the state of Queensland... pretty ironic. My farm is situated in between the two... so I'm very safe and relatively cool and dry.
