Bushfires around Hobart

filed under: tasmania events

The fifth season in Tassy has begun, and I’m not talking about the Carneval Season like in Germany, although it’s very hot also.

The last few days we had very warm and windy weather here in Hobart, and the risk for bushfires jumped up from zero to 60% + . It was a little bit scary, when Dan came into my room and asked: “Hey, have you seen the bushfires?” and I sad “No, but I’m not in the mood to drive an hour to see one”. “No, just look out of your window!”
Well, in front of my window it a big tree, so it was hard to see anything. The only thing you could see was a small orange glowing between the leaves.
So we went up to the Horton-Media-Room, and from there you had free sight across the whole plain.
I took a few pictures. They are all at the same possition, but I played a little bit with the options of my camera. ;)

Here you can get more Information about the bushfire situation here in Tasmania.
