Could be an interesting season
From the ABC web site today...
Fire personnel, bulldozers and helicopters have been fighting the fires that have so far ravaged 2,200 hectares of bushland.

The fires began on Thursday afternoon and are still going, but the RFS says they were brought under control at around 6pm yesterday.
