NSWFires by P4G is good, aggregates NSW RFS data with BOM wind direction. They do other states but not sure if ACT specific.Will give it a crack and see if it's better than the NSW one, thanks mate.
Those street signs are just small enough that I can't read them, where are you?More than me is going to need it...
I realise this. Can’t wish them well individually.More than me is going to need it...
sign says newell hwy, i’m guessing west new england region?Those street signs are just small enough that I can't read them, where are you?
One of the positives of a potato phone...Those street signs are just small enough that I can't read them, where are you?
We are as prepared as we can be but to be honest the house is not yet totally defendable despite our best efforts.Look on the bright side, you get to find stuff that's been missing for ages.

Seriously though, all the best with it. 10kms is not far, start preparing now.
Leaving could be a good idea. Last week I thought I was prepared but when the southerly arrived it was of little comfort. Days of prep and a garden hose wouldn't have done much if here were embers coming at me at 70kph. I sent the kids away and had an escape plan but still pretty scary.We are as prepared as we can be but to be honest the house is not yet totally defendable despite our best efforts.
The previous owner left it with too many gaps that we've not been able to fully plug as yet.
Add to that the fact that we've little more than 10,000 litres of water on hand, M'lady is working at fire control and I have three lads 10 and under in my care...I'm not sure how much fire fighting I can practically do. Leaving is on the agenda...
It's supposedly a grass fire, according to RFS, and looks like it's just South of The Pilliga, which isn't good. Good luck mate.More than me is going to need it...
Prepare to leave early. If it comes to that, your garden hose won’t do squat in heavy ember attack, heat and high winds.We are as prepared as we can be but to be honest the house is not yet totally defendable despite our best efforts.

100% agree with this. The house is replaceable, even the stuff inside and the memories, it’s all replaceable. Family members are not.Prepare to leave early. If it comes to that, your garden hose won’t do squat in heavy ember attack, heat and high winds.
I know you know this. I’m just saying be smart, and remember you’re more use to your family alive. Fingers crossed for you all.
