It’s in excess of 70,000 hectares.
Several close friends advised that bulldozers cutting upto 1 metre deep into sand tracks to try and extinguish various, were finding thousands of deeptree roots - red hot and still very much burning under the ground, where the fire had passed - scary stuff.
I have to head to west coast of state for work this week...should be interesting.
If we get a roaring 40’s blast right now - tassie could be in some trouble. No rain for a long time and so so much undergrowth...
