Well we must be finally getting over our bushfire fear, with the start of bushfire season this year delayed a month until 1 November.

I seem to remember last year the season’s start was brought forward.

Anyway, the scientific reasons for the delay are that we’ve had a fair amount of rain recently that’s dampened everything and it won’t dry out as quickly.

I sense a prediction coming on….”if only the authorities had put in place improved procedures and plans, this (another fire) would never have happened”.

Plus, we seem to have a very large firebreak to the west of Weston Creek now.
