We had a bit of excitement outside the global office yesterday. A fire swept up the slopes of the Brisbane river not far away bringing the men from the Karana Downs fire station to the rescue. No damage to property was done and a lot of dead vegetation (fire hazard in summer) was cleared. Today the sky is a brilliant blue - still no rain so I guess I will have to water the garden today!
