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.nondisclosed_email@example.com (cooch t31)Sat, 19 Oct 2013 09:05:59 +0000 Re: Bush fires NSWhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2078623,from=rss#post2078623https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2078623,from=rss#post2078623Yeah I hear 40 is a baseline estimate. More than likely will be much higher.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Toddyh03)Fri, 18 Oct 2013 06:45:05 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2078622,from=rss#post2078622https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2078622,from=rss#post2078622Thanks Todd, bit of a worrying afternoon yesterday.

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.nondisclosed_email@example.com (cooch t31)Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:14:44 +0000 Bush fires NSWhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2078617,from=rss#post2078617https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2078617,from=rss#post2078617We are sending our prayers to all those that are in the grip of bushfire"s that are hitting NSW.
