Yes Jood, not good mate. Spent my Honeymoon in Mt.Beauty, Bright, Porepunkah and parents-in-law had holiday house in Mt.Beauty in the 70s and 80s. Beautiful part of Vic. Barbs cousin and his family live at Merijig ( farm ) and was asked to remove his horses from paddocks on Friday. His property is safe at the moment but we are watching for updates on the fires. Now we have a few Richard-heads lighting fires ( News ) on purpose. Hope they catch them and tie them up to some tree.......Idiots. Rudes

Tony I think I might have been reading that about d*******s lighting fires near the western ring road, is that where you was talking about, thinking of Barbs Cousin hopeing they get out of this fire safely

Yep Tony, tie them to a tree and let them do a fire dancing exercise with a little help from those who they cause such grief to, rotten so and so, was going to say little, but propably old enough to know better, know what I would do if I caught them. Shaz
