We are finally home. We left Necastle early (like before 11 am), and it was a good thing, as the highway between Sydney and Newcastle (F3) was closed less than two hours after we went down it due to bushfires. Now they are closing the roads between Sydney and Wollongong as well. We are having temperature well into the 40's (like 110F+), and have a strong wing warning, with wind over 90km/h. The fires will spread fast with that. At least because we are right in the city, it shouldn't affect us too much.
Being borning and doing my washing, as the clothes are drying on the line in less than 30 minutes, so I can wash ALL my clothes before nightfall.
