Yep, pi/ajf/kl/dalai; (thanks gents for the concern), safe; though even at a distance of 70 km from it as the raven flies, and offset re its travel direction from a predominant wind point of view, we're smoked in with visibility down to a couple of hundred metres.

Our fire plans revolve more around what might start up in closer proximity to us in upwind direction/s!
Due getting a tad older our plans no longer involve 'staying and defending', so instead we grapple with prioritising what to take with us when we 'leave early'.
Van and motorcycle are pre-packed ready for departure... Interestingly enough some of my ancient climbing gear made the cut, due no longer being available and hence hard to replace, while newer gear remains behind out of availability of space considerations!

The Vic Emergency App and ABC Radio coverage have not added anything significant to the situation up Buffalo today, other than the last update at 10.53 am indicating size of fire was 1008 Ha.
