Red Alert. What a difference a day makes!

It seems like the whole state of NSW is on fire. Thankfully we had our trip to the Southern Highlands sooner rather than later, as it too,has been affected. So much devastation, and properties lost! 

From Mums we could look across the lake to see the amazing cloud of smoke coming from the Ruttleys Rd fire. Houses were going up in flames at Catherine Hill Bay. What a day!

On a more selfish note I am hoping the train line isn't affected so I can get back to Sydney tomorrow and catch my plane home to Brisbane.

It has been a good visit, and lovely to get away with Mum.

I will miss my noisy, chaotic little nephews. They are so still so innocent and sweet.
