Bush-fires around Hobart

This is a photo of Mt Wellington I took from Battery Pt (Just opp Jackman McCross bakery) the day I arrived. There's been fires all around the east coast because of the heat (As any australian knows gum trees burn very easily in dry weather because of the oil in the leaves). Haven't heard of any homes in Hobart that have burnt down but I think the small towns around the east coast of Tassie haven't been so lucky.
