The Hillville Fire had run all the way to Rainbow Flat then entered Khappinghat National Park. From there it spread east to Wallabi Point, north to Tallwoods Village and and west to Mt Talawahl. It also burned south to the boundary of the Serenity Resort which adjoins the National Park.
It also burned almost right up to the junction of Old Soldiers Road and Figtree Drive at Moor Creek, about 1 kilometre north of my property. Fortunately favourable winds and cleared land at this point allowed a number of RFS brigades to slow, then stop the fires progress just short of the Old Soldiers Road and Diamond Beach Road junction.
The smoke in this image is coming from dried out swamp land largely made up of peat moss. Peat moss fires can burn for some time after such fires but a local RFS volunteer who lives nearby kept a close eye on it after the brigades were called away.

Water entering Raintrees from neighbouring upstream properties via Middle Arm Creek flows under Figtree Drive culvert and through our property exiting under a culvert across Panorama Drive at Diamond Beach.
Ultimately the water flows into a feeder creek which then flows into Moor Creek before flowing on into Khappinghat Creek. It then travels through Khappinghat Nature Reserve, into Saltwater National Park, then to the ocean at Wallabi Point.

Fig Tree Bay is a sandy beach in the resort of Protaras, Cyprus. The sandy beach stretches for 500m and the waters are clean enough for the beach to have been awarded blue flag designation. The beach, which runs the length of its own cove, takes its name from the fig trees located close to the coast.
