Fires are out of control north of Perth, see;

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-17/fire-threatens-homes-north-of-perth/5676932 

Hope all living in that area will be safe, several GN's living up that way also.

Another report just in says it has been downgraded and is no longer a threat, see;

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-17/fire-threatens-homes-north-of-perth/5676932 

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....smile

Haven't checked this morning but there is no smoke so I guess the fire is out.

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.
