It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

There are fields around, but are about 5km away, and I do not have a car at the moment to check them out..... So I will have to wait till I get to Northampton to check out sites...

That's crazy bad, mate. As thumbnails, they look nice. Open them up and it's a real heartbreaker.

I must say with all honesty that I really feel for all the now homeless people, these homes were their life not only the house is gone but all the memories, Photos, videos, souvenirs all gone mate just because some ass hole set the bush alight. Just a thought, on the radio they said that it was a national disaster. We are looking at very expensive homes here and most of them were with the same insurance company, can you imagine having to replace 120 homes of such a high standing? Ouch

OMG, that is very bad buddy.... was it sabotage? They are very badly damaged.... What I do not understand is why they let the bush grow all around the houses in SA with bush fires the way they are No no!

there should always be wind breaks etc. Hope that your parents are ok?

Cool thanks mate.

No just a bush fire that set the thatch roof of one of the houses alight, as there was strong winds that day and all the houses have thatch roofs they just set one another on fire.
