This is just east of sufil and they are aware of it and are checking it out.

The fire was at Neergabby, just east of Sufils place which is approx. 80 kms north of Perth.

Hopefully the storm/rain put the fire out completely....

 Vic, we went along that GinGin rd on our way to SuPl place

Yes, it is a bit close to home for Sue and Phil Wombat.

Glad you are both ok Sue and Phil, a bit scary being so close.

Hopefully the rain helped a bit if they got some in Neergabby.
