Fruitmincepies Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Thanks [mention]Mister Mum[/mention] There isn’t much wind at the moment and I’m really hoping it’s helping the firefighters. I’m a long way from the fires, but (I reckon) everyone in Perth knows someone who lives in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NannyPlum Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 This is the road my parent's house is on in wooroloo. We think that this might be just about out the front of their house. The firies saved the house. The front paddocks were burnt and thankfully due to extensive clearing due to renovations, means it never made it up the driveway.
