I'm not the one posting dumb pictures and playing the man.Not sure that's something you're really into, tbh
That’s f**ked up.I saw a story on the news this morning ... woman who left her property on her horse .... when they returned their house had been totally ransacked - including the water pump and all the water was just running out of the tank ..... can't believe people
Merkins flapping their arms producing pie charts about the fires of the 70’s. It’s a leftist story that shit is bad.
Nek minute the Minister of Defence calls up the Army Reservists for the first time in our nations history.
That would take a special kind of feral to do that. I hope they get caught.I saw a story on the news this morning ... woman who left her property on her horse .... when they returned their house had been totally ransacked - including the water pump and all the water was just running out of the tank ..... can't believe people
Bro, time to ditch the signature. You’re yesterday’s hero now.
48.9 was recorded at Penrith at 3.02 pm.
Smashes all time metro temp.
I just went for a 5km jog. Part of my new yrs resolution. It was hot but tbh I've had hotter.
It didn't feel that bad tbh. I just went for a 8km jog.
a lot of the fires we had up here (nth coast) in the last few months were started by dry lighting strikes
until a few months ago I never even heard of dry lighting strikes
Hey lads, did hindy go for a 15km jog?
Decent effort in the heat
So how do you know it was 8? It might have been 108km...I thought it was 5km but my tracker had stopped.

Good to hear you are OK T.S.So after an interesting time at our property in Narooma, my partner, my daughter and I are now back at home in Sydney.
After I posted the other day about the power going out all communications went down. The whole place was as dark as if the sun was going down, despite it being 11am. We could see the glow of the fire coming from the other side of Mt Gulaga. After about half an hour the glow was getting much brighter, so we packed up and headed to a relative's place in Dalmeny, right across from the beach.
My partner's mum and brother stayed behind at the Narooma farm to keep an eye on everything.
We had no power from the morning of NYE up until about just before midnight on the 1st, so not that long really. Communications were still down for a while after that. Woolies was open for a short time after the power went out because of backup generators, but it didn't last for long. Everything was shut. Couldn't get any food so had to make do with whatever we already had, which for us was fine but plenty of others would have been struggling a bit (people camping and whatnot).
Everyone's main concern was getting fuel so that they could eventually get out of the place as soon as the highway opened. One servo eventually got a generator hooked up to one of the pumps (just one) to get it going and put petrol in cars. The line up for this one pump was unbelievable. I drove past the servo and saw the generator getting hooked up at about 7pm, drove my family home and had a quick dinner then grabbed a book and headed back to line up. Sat in a line of around a hundred cars until I finally got a full tank of petrol. Took 4 hours.
Was able to leave on the 2nd but had to go south to Bega, then across the Snowy Mountain Hwy to Cooma, then up to Canberra. A trip that would normally take 4 hours took 8 hrs. We stayed with relatives in Canberra for the night then drove home on the 3rd. Was quite the trip. Saw a lot of devastation from the fires, drove past Cobargo which was very sad to look at.
The winds are expected to bring the fires into Narooma today. Good chance we will lose the house there. Possibly the other house in Dalmeny as well. It's reached the end of Wagonga Inlet and is moving east.
Saw that as well. What sort of a merkin would do that?I saw a story on the news this morning ... woman who left her property on her horse .... when they returned their house had been totally ransacked - including the water pump and all the water was just running out of the tank ..... can't believe people
Pretty sure I saw him run past my joint at Pemulwuy, so he's probably done 34km's at least.... Maybe even a full 42km marathon... Solid effortSo how do you know it was 8? It might have been 10
