It looks like it's going to be a bad one alright. They are also forecasting Northerly winds, and along with any dry lightning that may occur it doesn't auger well.

It is sounding more and more like another black saturday type day on monday. The weather pattern and conditions are very similar.
Some of those people camping out may not have communications and won`t get the message from the authorities and may not know to evacuate.
Let`s pray that doesn`t happen and everyone gets the warnings.

If anyone needs a place to stay for a while, then PM me.

Yeah, one of my kids has been down at Koornalla for the last few days. Got on the phone and told her to get the f&$# out of there a few hours ago. She's on her way home now.

Forced to do it RM as the camping fee's are stupid in Victoria.

But you gotta pay for it..

I hear you Tathradj :Y: :beer: the important thing is people getting out safely and before things change for the worst, hopefully that doesn't happen.

Distinguishing between the two can be arduous.
One observation i made in the last few days is the clearly very inexperienced people driving toy four wheel drives ( soft SUV ) with brand new bolted on cliches such as light bar , spot lights , roof racks, trax and by the way they were driving and acting in bushland they clearly knew nothing beyond the city limits.
What hope have they got if bushfires flare up ?
throwing a cappucino or inflatable floaty crocodile at bushfires probably wont work

What about all the punters who went to the Falls festival and then it got cancelled ? They might need a place to camp.

These pictures are of Bemm River, a mate evacuated this morning and his brother who's also a mate is a full time resident, no option for leaving now :/ he's got it sorted though and a CFA member so this will be his reason to stay and defend if necessary no doubt.
It's going to be a difficult situation for some time yet for the whole of East Gippsland. The Prince's Hwy is closed from the turn off to Bruthen near Bairnsdale to the Geno turn off east of Cann River. If you've got no necessary reason to be there stay away it doesn't look good.
