I remember seeing that on TV Quoll, It was pretty bad.
The closest we have ever got to a bush fire was in the hills behind us. It was school holidays, I was at work when I got home the kids were on the roof hosing it down and filling up the gutters! We also had a pool so had to let the fire department know. That massive "Elvis" helicopter kept coming over hour house after filling up with water at local farmers dams.
The same rules regarding water are in force in Wodonga, they have water patrol guys out checking that people are doing the right thing. The Hume Weir is only at 6% capacity which is scary. I think if the rains don'nt come in winter or spring, things will get a bit dire by summer.
Qld is the same they are getting rain but it's not falling in the catchment areas.
