No, my house didn't burn down. Had to stay in a high-end hotel suite for two or three nights (pure torture!) but we got back into our home like a week ago. Haven't been around on TWHL for some reason... Here's a photo I took from the top of a nearby hill the day we got back. Enjoy! (Woo high res):

In other news: I'm moving in a month to what will be our third house in three and a half years. That's got nothing to do with the fire.

That pic is rather amazing, even if it's a worrying sight.

So, the fires are still forcing you out afterall? Sucky situation indeed, but at least you have the time to gather your things.

Good to here your still alive, and that picture looks beautifull, although eerily quite.

Strider, that's not the reason we're moving at all... lol. It's more about some family issues, inability to afford the house we're living in now, and being in a kinda sucky location (we have to drive a while to get to stores, businesses, etc.) It had been planned long before the fire happened. Also, I'm pretty sure the fires were nowhere near as close to our house as I first thought them to be, and our lives were certainly never in danger. It looked pretty bad at the time, but I think all that was destroyed were a couple trailers way up in the mountains.

Oh, well... heh.
You get an exciting last month in your house under the gloom of bushfires!

Well, there isn't any smoke or ash filling the air anymore, thankfully. The fire is still going, but it's moved away from where we are, and is %90 contained... so I think everybody's forgotten about it. :P
