Well,
The fires are still burning, and I am sad to report the pine plantations on Mt Stromlo and
Greenhills is completely burnt out. The scene of four MONT 24 hr moutain bike races is
completely F&*^ed.
The observatory on top of Mt Stromlo was also gutted. The visitors centre is still there, so
Roadies will still be able to get a flat white or a latte at the top of the hill, but all of the
MTB tracks are lost.
Haven't heard the word on Blue Range, where the Nationals XC and DH courses are (the roads are still
closed), but I am assuming the worst.
I feel more sorry for the people that lost their homes (more than 500 houses gone).
The only place left within riding distance of town is Majura Pines.
*sniff*.
