I just saw the picture of what part is on fire. Its friggin all of it by area. Had some mates from Sydney over, getting charcoal arriving airborne from 50km away.

Can barely stand to read the news.

I hear you. I think similar to upping the pilot. Going richer. Go up from a J to a H! (which is actually a thinner needle).

Thanks for the thoughts mate! I'm up the pointy end. We have lots of scrub, but not heavy eucalyptus fuel loads. We've had a few decent fires, but nothing to the scale of what is happening down south.. and some rain has been falling as well.
