We have been very fortunate with the direction of the wind compared to other friends and their families. The wind warnings have been lifted now so hopefully gives the firies a much needed breather and can concentrate on keeping the fires put. same back to you bloodyrantboy 😜 Hope the new decade serves you and all your loved ones well! As well as everyone else amongst the turbo family! I think/hope for 2020 things can only bounce back now. Surely we’ve seen the worst 🤞🏼 Now should I get you started on the greenies restricting the amount of fire hazard reduction/burn off/replenishment during the appropriate times of the year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a mountain ridge a couple of km away that we look at from the front of our house, plus the Brindabellas, but can't see either at the moment. Can actually see smoke hanging inside and there have been shopping centres and office buildings evacuated due to fire alarms going off over the last couple of week.s 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here an idea for some comparisons. The hills looking in middle of pic towards are towards goobagandra, Blowering cliffs are to the right. And bondo/Brindabellas to the left. The smoke looks thicker in person and can see it up close but the camera doesn’t capture it. hazy neighbours houses from different sun light angle: picture of the sun: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought it broken of a bloke who probably weighed 75-80KG at best. Metal is like 1mm thick... Piss poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that but by the time I find one it may be easier to have this one welded up by the time I find another base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
