A hazy shade of summer

Tas Fire map with current fires

http://www.fire.tas.gov.au/Show?pageId=colGMapBushfires

There is a fire in the Dove River conservation area on the left side of Dove Lake Rd past Ronney Creek
Southerly winds are pushing the fire towards Cradle Valley
The lodge and surrounding area have been put on watch & act by Tas Fire
The fire may put Cradle Valley at risk.
Parks have advised that Cradle mountain is closed.

Not good
Hope that there will be no damage to infrastructure
