Where is your family staying? I can’t believe all of these towns I was just in are now destroyed or evacuated or surrounded by fire not to mention out of food/ petrol.

My sister in law is an ambo in Canberra and she has been sent half way to the coast to help along the evacuation route.

Not being there, I was surprised to see photos of Bermagui being evacuated with people backed up on one lane of road. You would think they would turn all roads one way out of town. But maybe the resources don’t exist to do that safely? Or they need the other side to give emergency services access?

We were in that town Cobargo November 18.
My photo is on top here and some photo from the news is on the bottom.

Totally gone.

It is so sad.

Oh! And I saw Thredbo and snowy mountains are being evacuated now and Canberra is on high alert. They stopped delivering mail in Canberra because the air is so bad it wasn’t safe for the posties to be outside!
