Bridge Creek

Had a very anxious afternoon.  Sitting relaxing when all of a sudden it sounded as though thousands of fire crackers were being let off in the bush on the other side of the highway.

Turned out to be a bush fire being driven by strong winds and heading straight for us.   I was so frightened I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest.  With thick smoke and ash blowing all over us it was really scary.  Thankfully the wind changed direction just at the right time
and the fire continued along the other side of the highway, but not before scaring everyone a few more times with the wind changing direction several times.

There were about ten caravans and motor homes here at the time and we were all relieved when two water tankers turned up.   The fire is no longer a threat, but still smouldering.
