Thanks for the warning, Bob

I had been east of Albany for a few weeks, and saw many eastern state number plates, who may not know the local roads.

I sincerely hope that I am wrong, but my gut feeling tells me that there is a firebug, in the South West, as there have been too many fires down there.

I got back to Bunbury on Friday morning

Took a northern route from Hopetown, through Ravensthorpe, Katanning, Wagin, Collie.
That area is fairly dry, with fairly high winds at times.

I would normally have gone through Albany, Bridgetown, Donnybrook, but early on in the week, there was a fire reported at Kirup, heading towards Donnybrook

For anyone who does not know the area around Bridgetown, there are plenty of trees, and it is fairly hilly in places, so not really a good place to contain a fire

 I thought the same re- firebug Tony, but speaking to old neighbours they say it was a power pole that started it.

Pretty fierce though, golf club has gone, timber mill at Hesters Hill has gone according to locals.

Both Denmark and Bridgetown heavily wooded and hilly like you say. Years ago there was a big fire in Bridgetown, 3 ignition points were found, the bastard got away too.

Cheers Bob

I heard a saying that it rains in Denmark 364 days a year, & the other day it rains.
