As at 1:30pm today the fire was still reported as WEST of Gama - and hadn't
crossed the Sunraysia Highway - there were warnings about smoke over the
road, though (don't we know it!)

Hi all, Bill here
A few of us were at Gama in North Western Victoria on the weekend. The
small block on the corner of the Sunraysia Highway and the Gama Sea Lake
Road is a good place (I understand) for black honeyeater.
However, we were unable to make any observations as we were under pretty
immediate threat by a large fire. The fire is known as the Wathe
Reserve Road fire, and was situated on the Western (ie other) side of
the railway and highway, but was moving eastwards directly towards the
block.
The CFA website has the status of the fire as large and still going -
does anyone know of the fate of this birding hotspot (and I use the term
advisedly)?
