Barkly News

Northern Territory emergency services are battling a bushfire in the Barkly region, more than 9300 square kilometres in size.
Crews from South Australia have been called in, and three extra fire bombers are on the ground in Tennant Creek.
The fire is burning on the Barkly tableland east of Tennant Creek, about 500 kilometres north of Alice Springs.
Chief fire controller Tony Fuller said the blaze was "roughly three to four times the size of the ACT", sitting between Epenerra and the Barkly Highway.
"We've had large [fires] in the past, but this is the largest one I've had to deal with," he said.
Fuller said while there was no risk to residential properties, some pastoral leases were under threat including a cattle station north of the Barkly Highway.

So we will not be drilling the Barkly for awhile hopefully before the wet comes but sometimes these fires are only put out by the WET.
