Our view of the smoke from the bushfire raging in the hills north of us.
Photo taken from the rose garden... a smoky night for us, and the fire
is still burning - so far one house and one shed burnt but no people deaths
but one can imagine a few koalas, snakes and other wildlife being trapped.
We've had a heatwave, strong hot dry changeable winds which pushed the fire one direction NE
and another direction NW, quite a dangerous fire, and very late in the season.
We have a similar district name, Cherry Gardens, but Cherryville is a half hour drive north
for us through winding hills roads - the strong winds are from the north, so you can imagine
we were keeping an eagle eye on this fire.
