“Severe Fire Warning”…really?

I’m writing this for Kings Beach, Queensland.
If you’ve ever been (and you really should visit – it’s beautiful) you’ll know it’s a hilly town on the beach, hence the name.
And our place is right on top of the hill.
On one side we’ve got 180-degree ocean views and on the other, we can see the Glass House mountain range, which makes for a beautiful sunset.
It also gives me a view of the national park that’s on fire right now.
As I got back from the beach café this morning, an SMS came in saying that’s a severe fire warning in King’s Beach.
My initial thought was… Really?
There are at least 3 other suburbs between us and any inkling of a national park. There are buildings upon buildings in front of us and I can’t see the fire getting any closer from our place. There are definitely people and homes in danger who need to take action. But not us, based on my observations.
Not King’s Beach.
So I was surprised to get the SMS. But hey, the fire authorities of Queensland know more about this than I do. They know how fast fire can move in 30-degree heat with high winds. They know the dangers.
So I’m paying more attention now.
The same things happen with the GAMSAT.
March is coming up fast and now is the time to start doing something about it. Those in the know are acting.
But there are people who are not too worried because it looks like there’s a lot of time between them and the GAMSAT. It’s not that big a deal to them. Or they haven’t done it before and think that they have a few goes at it before they need to take it seriously.
They don’t know how fast the time passes…
How much there is to do, how long it takes to develop the skills, how life can get in the way, how difficult the exam can be.
While others who know the danger are on high alert and are doing something about it now.
