[SEL] OT........bush fires in Australia

[James Moran]

PO-
  Thanks for the explanation...I thought that was the case.  I have  no idea, of course, as to your musical taste but there is a folk-style  tune called "Cold Missouri Water" that you might find compelling.   Based upon a true story, it tells of a man named Dodge, chief of a jump  team that went to fight a fire in Montana in 1949.  Of the fifteen  that jumped that day, only two survived the ordeal, including Dodge who  bore the guilt of his fallen comrades for years.  Quite a story  and piece of music.  You can find it on the internet radio  services that specialize in the acoustic/folk genre.  It has been  issued by James Keelaghan and Richard Shindell.

fires. Prairie fires would be like our grass fires.
Eucalypts [ Gum Trees] of which there are many varieties are very volatile 
as I suppose are your Pine Trees or are they Fir Trees?
One of our members ,Cam Grundy is a volunteer fire fighter ,unsung hero's in 
my book.
