The Briagalong fire is a cause for concern. It's closed off the Dargo road. Alot of campers up the way with no phone service. Wind has been crazy here for the last couple of days too.

Saw in a local fb group, a chick inviting people to a camp weekend up river from Dalmorton(NSW). A weekend of music, a 'Big Fire', come along it will be fun.
A bloke chipped her about the fire, well didn't she go off, "What business is it of yours" she asked.
People tried to politely tell her all open fires are banned atm.
She wouldn't have part of it, stating she was going to anyway.
We were up that a couple of weeks ago, the country is remote, dry and it wouldn't take much to burn.
Our Brigrade has been active, informing locals here of the risks, yet some self entitled fool, believes they know better.

Yeah you look at where the fires are at around here and you'll see they are where the camp sites are. With the winds gusting to 80 - 90km/h over the last couple of days it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to work out.

I was CL at a fairly serious fire near houses up the park once.. this new local came up abusing me for the amount of smoke that was around as if it was my fault... - note: not even blowing his direction.  i said this is what happens when bush burns for first time in years (I think round 10yrs) and kids play with matches.

He kept on carrying on saying take the park away if this is going to happen- I was polite to start with and I ended up suggesting he start a petition and write a letter to the prime minister to remove the Park completely ... Lucky there were a few long term locals to took it from there telling him to sell up an **** off as the parks been there a willion years before Cook landed there.

Key points:

Mr Griffith has been charged has with 136 counts of rape and 110 counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 10
The case will be heard in court again on November 6
He can now be named under Queensland law changes, brought into effect yesterday

Reports containing information regarding $50 million in MPs’ flight expenses have curiously disappeared despite multiple attempts to access them.

Hamas has always been at war with Israel, and vice versa.. who's right and who's wrong, is very much up to conjecture..

While hamas has along  history of conflict with Israel, previously Hamas was not the legally elected government of Palestinian. They have now as the ruling government declared war as a country against another country, putting the whole population from the Gaza Strip into a war.

There will be no winners in this, 1 side might win a battle but not the war..
This war has been going on for  +2000 years.

I still marvel at how many muppets think it's safe to tow a van heavier than their vehicle coz the sales brochure says it can tow 3.5t.
Even with the landbarge as a tug, I didnt consider anything over 2.5t when we bought our van.
