As if Australia hasn’t had enough bad weather…Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria have had floods this summer, Sydney’s been baking and now Perth has bushfires – north of town, south east of town and around town. Pretty distressing, as I used to work near the fires in Roleystone and Kelmscott, as well as having friends in both areas. 35 homes in Roleystone and surrounds have been destroyed.
I don’t live nearby, but the light turned that yellow that means bushfire and the easterly wind continues to blow really strongly…
The sunset clouded by smoke…
The smoke in the distance…
I hope that everyone is safe and well tonight.

It has been a really strange summer. Lots of my family are over there. Elderly grandparents have been evacuated, dad is still staying at this point. Other family having to face the stay or go decision.
How are your family going now? It’s windy again today but fortunately OK on the fire front so far.
Wow, I saw that on the news, glad to hear you’re not that close! We should switch weather for a day (it’s grey and wet here).
I’m really looking forward to my short break next week, forecast is cool with rain. I don’t even plan on taking an umbrella!
I’ve seen the floods on the news, this is the first time I saw the fires… Mother Nature is not being very kind to Australia at the moment
Stay safe!
Hope you get your car fixed & back soon!
Still no car, but I think the country is doing okay on the weather front at the moment -fingers crossed.
We’ve been seeing all your horrible weather on the news. Seems like the whole planet is having a bad year. I’m currently buried under 2 feet (60 cm) of snow with even bigger drifts.
The colors are lovely in that photo… too bad it’s caused by fire and not just a beautiful sunset.
Wow, so much snow. To an Australian, that sounds really cool but I bet it’s not really when you have to live with it. Driving would be awful!
