Kirsten is with Rob and Judy De Groot - -they were evacuated from Corryong in the early hours of the morning. Houses lost near town.

Anna Wright writes:

Today was called off for flying so we all went to a really nice waterfall (Paddys Ruver Falks) then onto Tumbarumba. On the way back to Corryong we noticed a fire had started way off in the distance and was heading our way. We arrived back in Corryong and were told that another fire had started and was heading to our caravan park, needless to say they evacuated us for safety reasons. Thank you to all the fire fighters and volunteers for working tirelessly to keep us all safe.
