My mate and her dad are currently in Dederang keeping an eye out for spot fires. She says she can't see anything from the smoke. ABC Radio just said the wind has changed with the Beechworth fire and it is heading more to the east (towards Dederang and Running Creek!!) My mates dad lost his friend and his friend's wife near Myrtleford, they chose to stay and defend their home. Very sad.The MTB park isn't directly threatened at the moment , the fire is south east of Beechworth. I wouldn't hold much hope for Mt Stanley though. Its highly likely part of the DH track got burned last night , the rest may go today or tomorrow.
As far as I know , Yack track is safe at the moment , though there have been a few fires near there since last weekend. Anything is possible in the next few days.
Unconfirmed 5 fatalities, 80% of town destroyed, the fire that burned through it has burnt 57,000 hectares in total.Any news on Marysville?
Yeah? Channel 9 was pretty disgusting:as much as i hate the media response to situations like this, but channel 7, is realy convering it well right now on the news.
it is horible to see towns such as marysville and narbythong, completly destroyed, only a few buildings still standing.
Thanks. Our myspace page has been overflowing with people and bands willing to help out. We just need a venue and its pretty much set. State of East London and I Explode Like are among the fairly large local bands to offer to play, we're working on getting The Rose Line and A Fallen Theory!|Matt| Great idea about the benefit. Get it cranking for the community
