Meanwhile in Australia, Bush fire season has decided to pay us a visit, this is about 3 kms from our house.

Not good, I hope it stays away from you and is knocked down soon. We just went through that repeatedly out here in SoCal recently and it is very stressing watching fires erupt nearby! Luckily in our area they were all controlled and there was very limited damage compared to what happened up in LA.
Make sure you all have your grab-n-go bags ready to grab and go! And don't do what we did, forgetting to include dog food/bowls, leashes, etc., for our pets like we did the first time we put our grab bags together. Medications, water bottles, dop kit stuff, power banks to keep phones running if you can't get to a plug, etc. We have a list of "if you have time" things like grabbing our main NAS unit, laptops, etc. So much not fun...
Oh, and as a father of a couple of former lego-maniacs, I know EXACTLY how that shark feels...

Seen on the road today...pretty clever, as works in English, but best in Japanese and is a funny call-out to one of our (I'm assuming for many of us) favorite after school cartoons.
(Hint: Count to five in Japanese...)

Thankfully it started raining not long after I posted that. We got woken up at 3am by an advisory to get ready to leave, thankfully that never came.
Phew!
Edit: It’s under control.

I love all the ropes hanging from the upper branch. And he is about to saw off the branch the ladder is leaning against?

Sounds like the weather also stopped the first Aussie winning the Australian GP... Not your fault, just saying.... Would prefer the outcome we got...
