I expect the fires will be out by the time the meeting in on, the locals will want the tourist $ so the meeting will be on. If you want the local scenery will be very different - you'll be able to see much more without the tree leaves in the way!

Hi Frank - actually gutted I can't come - I'll be heading to the states in March.
But, you should know... 100kms is not that far... the fire has been moving around 20kms/hr and is still burning out of control.
And please... for those of us caught up in the fires or for those of us who have friends in the area 'you'll be able to see much more without the tree leaves in the way' is a little bit in bad taste.
There's a useful map here that's being updated as the fires move....
