2015-2016 Bush Fire Season
The fire season so far this summer has been disastrous for many parts of Australia, and although Conjola and District have not had any serious fires, we need to stay alert.
We are currently in an El Nino weather pattern, which means hot, dry conditions on the east coast of Australia, and things could change very quickly with a few hot and windy days. Lets hope we remain fire free.
The following information are things we all need to consider and implement.
