    Ohhhhhh [censored], although I have to wonder who wasn't smart enough to move their vehicle somewhere else before this happened. It's not like anyone doesn't know this is coming.

    We are having 41 degrees on Tuesday and then at least 3 days in the high 30s. I HATE the heat BUT I would also hate it to be that cold like in the photo.

    Takes an Aussie to be crazy enough to get that near a fire. I bet, unless he was dressed in full fire gear, that he's still trying to grow his hair and eyebrows back.

      That was probably the Kinglake fires, open oven temp, and a firewall at least 5 storeys high!

      I used to drive up there occasionally, beautiful area, but dangerous, especially with dumb laws prohibiting clearing near houses!


      I heard the fire was so intense, the ground shook, and it made a deafening freight train sound!

      Scary!
