I hope they do to Wilbury.
With 20 fires still burning uncontrolled and more appearing in the south/east, it's getting hard to keep track of it all.
Being in WA I'm further away from it but my whole family is in Victoria.
The coast of Victoria where the Ash Wednesday fires occured in 1983 are on alert again and many have moved out just in case, including my brother, sister and there families.
With the temperature having been in the low to mid 40's (that's 104 to 113 fahrenheit)for weeks, the whole state is like dry kindling.
Strange how diverse Australia can be, fires and people dying in the south/east and people drowning in the north/east.
'Her droughts and flooding rains..Her beauty and her terror...' yep that's Australia.
