Too Close For Comfort

We had a close call today with a bush fire coming way too close to home for my liking!

We had police blocking off the bottom of our street: it runs in a big "U" shape where part of it is parallel with Wanneroo Road, and over the other side of Wanneroo Road is Yellagonga National Park, which is where the fire was.

It actually jumped Wanneroo Road & came up to within a few metres of the houses at the bottom of our street, so it was within 100-200 metres of our house.

Thank god the wind was not blowing in the opposite direction otherwise it might have been a different story!
