This will also go for any jokes which may be directly insulting to certain people. So remember this thread is for updates on the Sydey and Shoal Haven Bushfires ONLY and I will delete the thread once they have been stopped.

Don't worry about jokes or whatever...I'll take care of that. It's not a joking matter, you're absolutely right. Also, no need to delete the thread, it's our record of what we talked about.

The most dangerous spots are on the South Coast (near Sussex Inlet) as well as spor fires jumping containment lines around the Hawkesbury region. Here's a little map.

Here's the view that a LOT of people have had from their backyards of fire approaching their homes.

This is what the sunsets have looked like here in Sydney. Beauty, to be sure, but we don't all need to be reminded of how deadly beauty can be.

Here's a list of the accused so far:

Allan Pascoe, 19, charged with lighting fire in ACT. Arrested December 26. On $800 bail to reappear in court this month.
