G"Day guys - I farm down under not far from one of these fires. Last week sure was hell, a week of 100f+ and it culminated on Saturday PM with a wind to match. We milked late all week, yep I am a dairy farmer, but it didnt make much difference for the cows - tongues hanging out as they walked up from their day paddock - poor things. Fortunately the fire did not hit this valley tho heading this way until the wind changed. We have been asked to take cows from the next valley from farms which were burnt out. We are in drought and lot feeding anyway, so as long as we can source feed it doesnt make that much difference how many we handle, we have little green feed anyway. As to the folks in the "Leafy" eastern outskirts of the city (Melbourne)that were hit so hard, nothing, absolutely nothing would stop those fires, I liken the event to a Nepalm Firestorm. The worst hit areas are home to some of the biggest Eucalypt trees about in the world. Up to now you could see the occasional skeleton of trees burnt in 1939 towering above the present 70yo forest thereabouts. Huge trees. I have on standby as well as other equip my 1000L 3PL boomspray tank behind the 4WD tractor with high volume hose direct from the pump - Bucket on the front - to help with any spot fires that come our way. More flexable than a slipon on the back of the farm ute (Pickup) We cant rely on Tankers as they"re resources are so stretched when things get tough.
