Question

yeah hows everyone doin over there???

looks pretty serious from what we're shown on the news


Posted by butterfly on Dec-05-2002 18:49:

it is snowing today. i decided not to go to work because people don't know how to drive in snow here. i hate winter (and it isn't even officially winter yet).

i figured those fires must be pretty bad because you know how our country cuts itself off from news in other parts of the world....

The fires look like bad news indeed. However they also do some good. I read that the main set for home and away located on a paddock some where was burnt to the ground.

How are the sydney Ta's doing?

The situation today is much better than previous days, its much cooler now. Hopefully conditions will get better...

Wednesday was quite hectic though, one of the power-electricity stations got burnt down, and there were power surges galore all over the place. The city-circle trains were dead due to the power failure, and we had to wait over 2 hours before they got the power up again.

Quite a few houses were completely destroyed too, it is indeed, very painful to loose ABSOLUTELY everything from a fire...

well i live next to a forest in the north of sydney and mum was freakin out, she's like we better start organising what todo if a fire comes to us

so i went and put a backup of my mp3 collection, all my cd's, and my cd playa into one nice spot so i can get em away if the place burns down, i then prayed to my god, PvD, that he should spare us from this.......

seriously tho, i hope everyone affected by the fires gets thru this shit, and that those stupid fires go away!!!!!


Posted by ultim8DTM5 on Dec-06-2002 08:09:

luckily im not directly affected but i have friends who have evacuated, i would hate for anyone to go through something like this...


Posted by Fraggle on Dec-06-2002 08:37:

hmm...seems to be mostly in the north/northwest atm, i think mt colah/dural region

hopefully the can get most of them under control this weekend, but the news said next week doesn't look good for them

right on the edge of kuring-gai national park here...hopefully it won't be as bad a season as '94 was...quite lucky then 'cos the opposite side of our valley was black, but our side was spared

Yeah the fires are pretty bad.....i had to stay overnight in gosford last night cos the roads were closed off from the north and west of sydney, so we werent allowed past the hawkesbury. Then today they finally opened the road and we drove past the part where we had been stopped last night at the hawkesbury bridge, and it was all burnt and smouldering.....crazy how it happened so quickly. It didn't cross the hawkesbury fortunately, but the SES were telling us they thought it would soon.........anyway enough blabbering from me... 6 days, hundreds of dollars, much serotonin lost, 1700 km's and 2 doses of sasha will make a man crazy......

hope it all goes well, and they get put out soon!

i remember driving through burnt out forests in january this year, stank like smoke...
just felt sad..

(my mate moved to manly for uni and we did a roadtrip with him)

The fires are still burning, though they are mostly in the north of the city (around Brooklyn/Berowra areas). That's right on the outskirts of Sydney..

I'm safe because I live in the inner west (Enmore) - I figure if my house burns down in a bushfire, we have bigger problems

But Monday is not looking good, supposed to be extremely hot (low 40s) and strong winds :/


Posted by DJ_Ballistic on Dec-08-2002 01:53:

i left my window open last night, and now my room reeks or smoke, its such a bitch!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Sid on Dec-08-2002 05:38:

Fies are burning about 5 minutes away from where I live and the smoke is just too much, hopefully rain will come soon.


Posted by webmeister on Dec-08-2002 06:11:

Whereabouts is that s_madis?


Posted by Fraggle on Dec-08-2002 06:25:

damn madis hope they get it contained soon

got lots of smoke/haze hanging around here today...cleaned out the gutters and collected all the leaves etc just in case

now my clothes stink of 2-stroke and grass clippings


Posted by Sid on Dec-08-2002 06:34:

I live in Revesby, which is close to the East Hills-Glenfield area and its really bad down there. They had to close the Trainlines because the smoke was just too much. I hope whoever is lighting these fires burns in Hell, they don't deserve to live !


Posted by webmeister on Dec-08-2002 06:44:

Revesby eh?

I grew up around Bankstown, around the Georges Hall area...
and my parents live out near Glenfield (also where I used live..)


Posted by Fraggle on Dec-08-2002 06:44:

heck...i haven't heard much about fires down south

used to goto milperra for holiday work, but other than that the only time i'm in that area is between home & canberra


Posted by Sid on Dec-08-2002 06:46:

yeah its a cool area, not many people into Trance everybody loves all that Death Metal stuff, I'm leading a sort of Trance revolution down there as we speak


Posted by Fraggle on Dec-08-2002 06:51:

hahahahaa

viva la trance revolucion!

is that like a little mexico down there?


Posted by Sid on Dec-08-2002 06:58:

Hehehehehehe you could say that, I'm burning live sets and giving them out to alot friends, PvD - Live at Cream amnesia, closing party seems to get alot of people ! I was really happy though I was at Revesby maccas yesterday sitting in their outside area thingy, and a car that went through drive thru had some Hard Trance pumping I was really happy to see that people were starting to get into it. Although I'm not that big of a fan of Hard Trance its still a good sign !


Posted by Fraggle on Dec-08-2002 09:44:

ahh hahahahah

funny when you hear trance coming from someone else's car

i remember leaving paul's warehouse carpark when some guy in an old commodore rocks up pumping exploration of space LOL

ya that cream set is mint...pity there's a heap of echo or reverb on it tho , but otherwise the set is great!
