As it happens, I was camping up around the Jurien area last night and this morning when a guy from CALM came through and advised us to pack up early in case the fire changed direction and came towards us...

It was *miles* away when we left, but better safe than sorry

It also meant that we could get back to the Brand Hwy without having to navigate any smoky roads...
