Fire came at us on four fronts over a week. While Kimberley fires are described as "cool fires" the waiting was no fun. Pandanus just loves to burn but I was surprised by the speed fire races up some of our native species. Fire approaching the camp at night. This was a night we finished about 7:00 before retiring for dinner with David and Janet. A couple of Red's helped out while waiting for dinner to be prepared.
Here we are on fire watch as the fire encroaches from the north. A creek separated us from the fire but floaters were a danger. Standing in smoke for several hours helped clear the sinuses.
Guess who? shifting gear from one end of the camp to the other as the fire flares up in different locations. I'm a bloody Hero, believe me!.
