Our thanks goes out to the CFS and volunteers for their effort which saved our town, however, sadly, some homes were lost.
We were fortunate as we did not suffer any major damage, but many friends lost homes or had property damage.
Later, as the smoke began to clear we had some beautiful sunsets.

The Cudlee Creek fire was declared an emergency disaster as Country Fire Service crews continue to battle flare-ups ahead of deteriorating weather conditions.
As at 23/12/2019 the number of houses destroyed by the fire was 87, along with almost 500 other buildings and 278 vehicles and these number are likely to increase as the fire is still uncontained (24/12/2019).
Agricultural losses are also mounting with about 1100 hectares of vineyards thought destroyed or damaged, equal to about one-third of the area’s grape production.
The industry’s potential damage bill is expected to be in excess of $100 million.

Starting in Cudlee Creek on Friday, the flames tore a path of destruction through Lenswood, Lobethal, Charleston, Woodside, Harrogate and nearly everything in between before being halted near Mt Torrens, more than 13km away.
