Just thought I would post this image taken this morning.

COG members that came on the Tumut outing last year will remember this as the exact spot 2 Lyrebirds were flushed and flew straight over our heads.

It used to be thick understorey and closed canopy. It is the "Old Mountain Road Walk" Kosciuszko NP. I did hear a Currawong calling this morning but I don’t think we will see Lyrebirds for a very long time.

The Kosciuszko NP has burnt from Blowering to Kiandra and beyond on both sides of the highway, and was heading to the Brindabellas and the ACT. It is the "Dunns Road" fire. I  believe it is now under control.

Very disheartening but lucky it has been stopped.

(this is my first ever post, I hope it works)
