Ummm the situation is sort of under control but what a smoky Sydney....
I'm about 3000 kms North from there at present but I follow the development of the situation on TV often enough and it's sort of contained.
If I was in Sydney I'd be shooting the images for channel seven NEWS like I did every year so far.
Backburning has began as soon as there was a break in the wind and it is now paying off.
A few words of coursing to the firebugs that have caused most of this mess...
"I would not urinate on you if you were on fire..." "burn sucker, burn!"
Any way... to everyone here, have a safe and happy 2002!
Setekh, cheen up dude! She'll be right mate!
