You Aussies be safe over there. Wildfires, from our own personal experiences here in SoCal, is nothing to be messed with. Yeah, until you have actually been in it, you really have no idea what it's like.  I'm sure like a major tornado or hurricane and the like.
Man, that baking wind, nasty smoke, and hellish temps will put you down quick. And always keep drinking water on your person if close to the burn area. You'll never know when you may have to flee with little or no warning.

We send our prayers and best wishes that you all get through this alright.
