Its 46.9 degrees and the wind is unbelievable.............. we have never in our lives experienced heat like this (even at Longreach) - its a very sad day for Victoria.  The fires are approx 1.5hrs from us, the wind is blowing the fires Nth/East (we are Nth/West) its still very stressful and upsetting for those involved.

Caroline wakes at 3am to find the van smells of smoke - there is no fire around us, the entire sky is thick with smoke. The death toll is rising.
