The Nullarbor is actually a small section but fires have stopped traffic on the Eyre Highway east of Norseman.

About 140 firefighters are battling eight fire fronts that have cut off the small WA town of Norseman, about 700 kilometres south-east of Perth, for extended periods since the first blaze began on December 16.

It rained in Sale yesterday so everyone there is a little less worried and some residents are being allowed to return to their properties in the danger zones east of Sale. Jules |

My daughter and her colleagues went up to the Fire and Emergency Services base camp at Swan Reach, East Gippsland to offer free osteopathic treatments to injured and exhausted service personnel.

The prehistoric Wollemi Pines, which pre-date the dinosaurs, have been saved by a specialist team of remote firefighters from bushfires ravaging the area. Environment Minister Matt Kean said the trees are in a secret location to avoid contamination and were thought to be extinct before 1994. "Wollemi National Park is the only place in the world where these trees are found in the wild and, with less than 200 left, we knew we needed to do everything we could to save them," Mr Kean said. The operation included large air tankers laying fire retardant and specialist firefighters being winched into the remote site by helicopters to set up an irrigation system in the gorge to increase the moisture content of the ground fuels. https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-16/...6/11871370 Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
