Ya, beautiful and deadly.
I don’t think there’s much post there.

But they’re pretty arbitrary.. except in the case of the Mighty Murray River.

Yeah I don’t understand state/territory borders. The NSW/Qld border on maps is the river, but in reality, it’s north of the river.
But anyway, my point of that pic was I’ve not seen or heard any warnings for SA, particularly Mt Gambier, which looks like it could be facing some issues based on the Vic emergency map. (Certainly not intended to make light of the current emergency in Victoria.)

Terrific that all the farmers’ fences have been burnt out?
Glad the missing people have been found safe.

Maybe that line works.

Maybe algal blooms prevent bushfires.

Meanwhile…
Only a Tropical Low or potential cyclone… whatever
Getting a bit of shape, rotation happening.

Coastal lows aren’t far off beiing a cyclone and can be just as devastating.
Anecdote only..
A few years ago, on a Sunday, travelling from Tallangatta along the Murray Valley Hwy, I spent a couple of hours in the very pretty town of Corryong, having pulled over the van (near the historic wooden tressle viaduct) bc radial tyre separation. I drove a little way on to Koetong pub (publican was a bit of a prick) and decided to head back to Tallangatta for a day to get the tyre replaced.
Missed the rendezvous with my brother in Jindabyne by 24 hours.

I just looked at FlightRadar24. The Otways has got a couple of Firebirds (helicopters) a Bird-dog (plane) and a Bomber working. Over in central Victoria there are various helitacs and bombers. One of the problems yesterday was apparently that the wind kept the planes on the ground.

It looks like one of those WW2 photos of German cities burning after air raids.
Some more photos here. It looks horrendous. :(
https://www.reddit.com/r/australian/comments/1q8rihr/north_east_vic_fires/
Footage from the 2020 Australian bushfires showing just how quickly the fires can spread.
Just noticed that Conair are using a Bombardier dash8 as a Large Air Tanker. I haven’t seen that before.

They must be able to dump the water pretty evenly, as if too much came out of one end the pane’s CoG would be out of limits. And that’s bad.

How have waterbombing helicopters and aircraft improved from the days of Elvis and Georgia Peach et al?

Much the same I’d guess. Hopefully more of them though.

More of them, and faster. Ex Air Force Blackhawks are the current gear.

agreed it’s as amusing as when we say “this is all going to be over soon” or any other synonym
Cyclone Koji.. cat one system has hit land between the Burdekin River mouth and Cape Upstart, north-west of Bowen.
Heavy rainfall has started with 84mm recorded in the past hour at Netherdale, west of Mackay.
Angus Hines from the Bureau of Meteorology says the rain will continue throughout the afternoon.
“Our daily rainfall totals are going to be significant, 24-hour rainfall totals are now up to 380mm for the area so it’s a lot of rain and there’s a lot more still to come so absolutely buckle down and stay put”.

Why the name “Koji”?

Excellent. Hope it’s a biggun.. will please grandson :)
I’m sure people near Koji would be happy to give this rain to Victoria.
