I was trying to get to the house. First thing is, all your visual markers are gone. There were a few times I thought i knew where I was, and wasn't even close to where i thought I was.
Anyway, I'm riding down a dirt rd, fire on both sides. I don't typically grip the bike with my knees when I ride, I felt something touching my knees. I look down, and the fuel tank had blown up like a balloon. People don't usually believe that, but I'm happy to swear on all my kids lives that It's true.
People were asking me what it was like. I told them the sky was on fire. Again, no one believed me. When I stopped to sort out the fuel tank. I took a second to just look up. Yes the trees were obviously on fire. but so was the sky. I've always tried to explain it like this. You know on an overcast cloudy day, when you look up and see all the clouds/grey sky moving fast in one direction, That's exactly what it was like, but it was fire, not clouds. Again, I'm happy to swear on my kids lives that is true.
My son's mate was in the UK at the time. His family lived just up the rd from my mothers place. The fire that day was moving at over 100 kph. There was no time to get out, and it went pitch black as well. The entire family took refuge in their shed. Their son was on the phone to them from the UK the entire time.
The fire had created It's own atmosphere, there was a thunder storm right above it, and there was black, ash filled rain falling. The fire was so huge, and needed so much oxygen to feed itself, it laterally sucked all the air out of the atmosphere.
The family in the shed, while they were on the phone to their son, suffocated. The shed was untouched by fire.
I still think about their son who was on the phone in the UK. I haven't seen him since before the fires.
It takes about an hour to drive from my place to Yarram, took the fire 30 minutes to travel that far.
That was also the last summer we've had that I considered to be hot. Every summer since, has been pretty mild, especially this one.
I was trying to get to my mothers to let the horses out. I never made it. I did think I got close, but when I went back after the fires, turned out, I wasn't close at all.
Anyway, bloke up the rd let the horses out. 10 left, 11 came back lol.
The pilots dropped 7 buckets of water on the house and saved it, but the entire property was burt to within a meter from the house. The horses would have been killed for sure.
They have like a trout hobby farm. Needless to say, every trout was dead, we filled trailer loads of the stinky fuckers.
People don't realize how powerful wildfires can get. When I was in forestry school in the mid nineties a smoke jumper recruiter came. He didn't sugar coat it at all. He took out one of those fire blankets that is supposed to save you and said, " If you fuck up all this will do is cook you to medium well, if you don't fuck up all this will do is cook you to medium well". He went on to explain it basically saying it's very dangerous, unpredictable, you need to be on your game all the time and that might not be good enough, be ok with giving your life. The pay was not very enticing either. Crazy respect to anyone that fights a wildfire, it's a thankless job.
22 FARMER SUICIDES IN ONE REGION IN A 12 MONTH PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aussie's. What will you be willing to pay for your milk in the next few yrs, assuming you'll even have the option of buying any?
Because, we're losing our farmers. No water = no food. no food = no life. In the next few yrs. We will 100%, be buying all of our milk from China. You can bet your balls, you won't be getting it for anywhere close to $1.00 a litre.
City people especially need to watch this. And learn about the reality of the situation. Our farmers are quickly running out of time. Aussie farmers NEED you support. These are the people that have been feeding this country for generations, through war, through it all, they've kept Aussie's fed. Your food doesn't not come from a super market. It comes from our farms.
If you're in Aus, you'd had the luxury of being raised eating some of the best produce grown on the planet. You take it for granted. No doubt.
Don't let Karma get the better of you. Because if we don't support our farmers, she very shortly will have the last laugh..
By not supporting our farmers, you're essentially committing suicide. They're your main source of food. Have a think about it!

(Bloomberg) -- Three U.S. firefighters have died after their water-bombing plane crashed while battling a blaze near the Kosciuszko National Park, as Australia’s wildfire crisis flares again.
The trio were working for Coulson Aviation, which bills itself as the global leader in aerial firefighting, and was contracted by the New South Wales Rural Fire Service to help fight the blazes.
“A large air tanker crashed in the Snowy Monaro region,” New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian said at a press conference Thursday afternoon. “Our thoughts and prayers and heartfelt condolences go to their
Wreckage of the C-130 tanker was found near Cooma, a rural town about 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of the national capital Canberra, the Sydney Morning Herald reported, citing emergency services. A search started after the plane lost contact about 1:30 p.m. local time.
There’s no indication yet of what caused the accident, RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said at the media conference. The plane exploded in a large fireball when it hit the ground, he said.
The fatalities take the death toll from the fires to at least 31.
The unprecedented wildfires have destroyed or damaged more than 3,000 houses, incinerated an area almost the size of England and killed an estimated 1 billion animals.

The return of scorching temperatures and high winds on Thursday reignited the fire crisis. More than 80 fires were burning across New South Wales on Thursday afternoon, with emergency warnings in place for four blazes. The temperature topped 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit) in central Sydney earlier in the day.
Flights were earlier suspended at Canberra Airport as fires approached the runway and thick smoke reduced visibility.
