Here is the gloomy physical reality of the impact of the still out-of-control Orroral Valley Fire reflected in this morning’s (February 4) Fire Situation Map from the ESA.
The relentless, week-long fire has made national headlines as it destroyed more than 69,000 hectares of the Namadgi National Park and continues to threaten Tharwa Village and Canberra’s southern suburbs.

![Canberra’s woodchopping association – the Hall and District Axemen’s Club – is rebranding to Capital Country Woodchopping.
“We didn’t want to be exclusively a Canberra association and we deliberately left any gender-specific wording out in the new name,” says president Cheyanne Girvan, 32.
“We also went a different [way] to other associations under NSW by not including ‘association’ in our name.”
Four years ago the Hall and District Axemen’s club’s membership was 25.
Cheyanne says this name change will give the club the versatility to grow into other areas and on to greater things.
