Bush-fires in Dunalley

 The devastation of a bushfire cannot be underestimated...
This was very evident as we drove towards Dunnalley through kilometres of blackened forest...from a fire so hot only ash remained on the ground.

The fire in some areas  had burnt all the way to the sea and we could see people camped by the remnants of what once was their home

The Pub became the hub...and still is. The school, still a hive of re-building activity as we drove to Cape Raoul, and fully functioning with kids back in classes, by the time or our return a mere 3 days later.

Burn out houses like this one scattered throughout the town, filled us with sadness.
