Official update is that the fire has NOT crossed the great western highway. However it does say that it's burning in the Kanimbla Valley, so I can only assume they mean in Hartley Vale to the north of Mitchels Ridge/Victoria Pass.
I get the feeling the person doing the updates isn't quite clued in to the local geography. Earlier today an update said it was burning in the Megalong, which was clearly wrong, and they've had to clarify that the fire's nowhere near Blackheath. |
