I received a call from the local forestry informing our local DSMRA riders that the forests in the Maquarie region will be closed for the weekend.

I thought I would let everyone know. It a $2200 fine if your caught in a closed forest. There will be signs up at some enterie to the forest but there is a lot of forest and they are trying to contact all users and spread the word.

See attached flyer.

Fair enough. It’s not worth the risk of fire.
I helped with a grass fire today. 41C and a dhead thought it would be smart to slash around his house to keep the “really super dry 2 foot grass” nice and low for protection against fire. All it took was a rock to spark and 50 acres went up. 15 odd trucks and 2 water bombing planes later 3 houses and sheds saved.
Stay at home people and watch TV in the aircon.
