Jen, Are your pairent's in Long gully or Maiden Gully? I think 50 home's where burnt down in that area of Bendigo. Spotlight was almost burnt down, and a couple of other shops just made it through. I thought the smoke was pritty thick, and the power has been on and off for days. There is CFA, police and Emergency services everywhere we go. Power lines are down all over the place. I am sooo over the smell of smoke.
