As I look northwards from home

There is a whole lot of black smoke rising into the air.
A long way from where I am, looks to be around Gnangara?
Less than 20kms from me. Not a lot of wind today so maybe the fire will be bought under control rapidly.
I am in no danger.

all forces are at firefighting disposal I would think?

You all are behaving more like the states with all these bush fires. Or the states are behaving more like you.

I just checked, you're right, you're not in danger.

I just now found out that Outback Splash, the home where my adopted Koala daughter, Tahli, lives.
Situated in Bullsbrook, the park was surrounded by wildfire.
Luckily, with little wind, firefighters had the fire under control within 2 hours.
I am sure Tahli would have been frightened beyond my imagination.

I'm glad to hear all is well as can be expected. Beautiful name, Tahli.
