Bush Fires


There is so much coverage of this dreadful event that I do not need to go into it. Although not directly affected, living in the suburbs of Melbourne, you cannot help but be touched.

Yesterday I spoke with a 93 year old lady who lost her daughter in the 1983 Ash Wednesday Bush Fires. She was in a fire truck with 4 others who also perished 25 years ago. You never forget. Poor Dorothy is re-living this all again and can't watch any news or read any papers at the moment.

This eerie sunset picture was taken from our bedroom balcony looking towards Port Phillip Bay. The smoke haze from the bush fires turns the sun orange and it looks very fiery between the trees. I just hope we don't have another hot weekend.
