Re:
Thanks Scot and wendy.
Fires are burning at Springwood about 15 minutes up the road from me at the moment, luckily the wind is in our favour and hopefully will stay that way.
Fires burning from Lithgow all the way to suburbs near Penrith. It takes an hour and ten minutes to drive to Lithgow from my place in Blaxland just to give you an idea of scale.

Re: Bush fires NSW
I was thinking about you today Tony. Good to hear they haven't reached you yet. Hopefully they don't.

Re:
Thanks Todd, bit of a worrying afternoon yesterday.
I heard that at least 40 homes have been lost as of yesterday.

Re: Bush fires NSW
Yeah I hear 40 is a baseline estimate. More than likely will be much higher.

Re:
So far 193 homes lost and 109 badly damaged just in the Springwood, Winmalee area alone.
Homes in Mount Victoria, Lithgow and other areas of the mountains still unconfirmed.
The Zig Zag railway has been badly hit as well, 6 carriages lost as well as machinery and plant equipment, they were re opening in 6 months time but had to fix a land slip first, now opening up again seems so far away.
The Norman Lindsay Gallery at Faulconbridge was saved I believe as fires threatened the area yesterday.
This is shaping up to be the worst fires in Blue Mountains history.
