Local bush fire

It was only a small scrub fire over the hill but it was close enough to make us think. Ironically, it started from a spark when a mulcher hit a rock whilst clearing overgrowth around the Atawhai hills. This is the view from our bedroom window. Heaps of ash blew over into the back yard and the house wreaked of smoke but it was over in a few hours, nothing like the fires back in Victoria.
