Hello everyone.
It is going to be a long hot dry Summer this season. During your bush travels be wary of fire danger. Hot exhausts can start a grass fire just by parking over dry grass. Mt Hickey is burning at the moment and firefighters are having a hard time controlling it let alone putting it out. If possible listen to local ABC radio (774 AM in my area) for fire warnings and situations.
Always carry plenty of water for both drinking and extinguishing a fire quickly. If you hear of a fire in the area you are in, call it a day and get out. Play it safe.
Enjoy your trips, just be mindful of the fire season ahead. It has come early this year.
Don.
