Hey everyone I thought I would let you all know about what’s being happening lately.
We had major fire issues starting a couple weeks ago and ended up having to evacuate down to the beach (all the high ways were closed)
Honestly it was probably one of the scariest experiences in my life (and that says a lot) it got really dark at around 10am and you could see the flames over the hill. The smoke was overbearing and I was TERRIFIED for Yoshis safety with the huge amount of smoke. I ended up having to put him in a friend of a friend of a friends house when the smoke got so bad you could hardly breathe.
We are all safe now and on our way to Sydney to stay with friends far away from the fires for a couple weeks. Luckily Yoshi is totally fine and not damaged at all. (Although I will take him to see a vet when we arrive and settle in just to make sure).
We lost the laundry and Yoshis room which had pretty much all of his stuff in it
. We also lost the horse stables and a shed that had farm equipment in it (including a brand new ride on mower
)
Most of all I’m just glad we are all safe and everyone survived. Yoshi has been handling it ridiculously well and seems to actually enjoy all the travelling and new places.
My girlfriend came to stay with us before the fires started and has been trapped here for the whole ordeal poor thing!
Here are some pictures of what we saw from where we were on the beach and some cute pictures of Yoshi been a good boy in his temporary cage. (Once we are back home I’ll buy him a huge flight cage)

I didn't realize you were in that area. How terrifying. I'm so sorry this is happening but I'm very glad you all got to safety. Sending much love. I hope the situation improves fast 
The videos and pictures coming out of places affected are just horrific. The latest I read was that wildlife rescuers were mostly euthanizing animals as most cases are pretty hopeless. Its hard not to feel desperate, but I hope and pray for all involved that this ends soon.
