Description

Australia has just experienced it's worst natural disaster, with bushfires destroying entire towns, thousands of houses burnt, and just over two hundred deaths ..

my own house was threatened twice, being forced to evacuate the second time .. thank god for the CFA and Elvis, the gargantuan water-bombing helicopter .. not knowing if you have a house to go home to is absolutely f*cking awful ..

these images were taken from the road between Flowerdale and Kinglake West, which were among the worst affected areas ..

I still remember when they had those bushfires; my late grandmother's property was about 50km from one of the bushfire areas (near Yackandandah in her case) but fortunately her home wasn't burned or damaged.

Still breaks my heart to think of the devastation that the bushfire left behind...
