Either he suceeds or he has better to hope the Home Office will reprieve his sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering into mere hanging, since transportation to Australia will be off the table.
Seconded. It is starting to look like the alternate name for the ring of fire (earthquakes and volcanism) around the Pacific rim might be the ring of wildfires looking at Australia and California.
The HMAS Choules is a Landing Ship Dock, and is on this side of Bass Straight from Tasmania, he should be fine. The water bombers fighting the Malacoota fires are based near here, I sometimes hear the BAE 146.
People have loaded up their cars and driven them into shallow water while the fires are burning trees on the shore. It's pretty bad, although the death toll has nothing on 2009.

Thanks for the information, but ouch. Talk about wrecking your car to try and save some of your stuff.

While I feel for those who have lost their homes and for the deaths, I am heartbroken at the impact on the wildlife. I don't normally proselytise but can I suggest that anyone who feels the same have a look at: https://www.wires.org.au
Yesterday three U.S Airmen lost their lives during a water bombing sortie south-south east of Canberra. Their C-130 hit the ground and exploded leaving only the tail. My heart goes out to their families and colleagues. The aircraft was leased by the New South Wales govt from Coulson Aviation. They had been in Australia since November last year.
While tanker 134 is in the news I’d also ask you remember the members of Victoria Fire (2) and New South Wales Rural Fire Service (3) who have been killed this year. This is addition to the civilian casualties (20+).
141 days of continuous major fire action and counting.

Some people have probably wondered where I have been on this site. RL has been busy but the main thing that has taken my time is that I published all my books on Kindle as both ebooks and paperbacks, including:
Consequences of an Errant Shell
Rudolf will Reign Dear
An Extremely Reluctant Fuhrer
Leyte Gulf Redux
A Powerful Curtin Call
Editing was a problem so I have edited all of them myself, but that was over 2,000 pages to check and correct. Needless to say, that has kept me busy.
The last of it will be done tomorrow and after I help my step son move this weekend I will be going back to my timelines. Sorry for the wait.
