All the stats on the sizes of fires were in Todays paper (21/12/05) - Ranged from a few hectares, to 180 or so hectares being the largest...

Sounds like a good effort by the Bordertown and Coonalpyn CFS Groups to contain it to that size :-D

As for no media coverage - probally a good thing, allows us to get on with our jobs without watching over our sholders to see who's watching us  :evil:
