We saw this bushfire while out for a drive. It must have been started only minutes before we drove past. Reports indicate it was started intentionally and has engulfed 25 hectares. As I write it is still burning and there is a possibility of 10 homes/farms being affected. Let's hope no property or livestock is harmed. The photo doesn't really do it justice. It was quite frightening and we were very careful not to get too close and definitely not down wind. Although not shown in the photograph there were 4 helicopters attempting to douse the surrounding bush to prevent it spreading. http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?MenuID=145&ContentID=64318

Easter weekend - Mechanical toys (and bushfire)
In the afternoon we went to the Art Gallery but photography was banned. We then visited a special display at the WA Museum, dedicated to mechanical toys (automata). Some sneak peeks below. Most pieces were by an English craftsman.
