It's 2130 and dark.  The fire is about 8km from us.  It has grown from 1000ha to 14500ha in 72 hours.
The smoke is quite heavy.  We're packed and ready to go if we need to.
Sue and I are sleeping in shifts tonight while we keep up to date on the radio emergency service.
We are back to Watch and Act status.  The upgrade to Emergency status usually indicates that there is likely to be direct threat within about 6 hours and we haven't reached that status yet.  It's still going to be a restless night.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have their homes on the edge of, or in, the fire zone.
