Today was called off for flying so we all went to a really nice
waterfall (Paddys Ruver Falks) then onto Tumbarumba. On the way back to Corryong
we noticed a fire had started way off in the distance and was heading our way.
We arrived back in Corryong and were told that another fire had started and was
heading to our caravan park, needless to say they evacuated us for safety
reasons. Thank you to all the fire fighters and volunteers for working
tirelessly to keep us all safe. http://emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/ Issued Today at 8:24 PM.
