This is the view yesterday (two days after Black Saturday – which I believe is what the day is being dubbed) from my in-law’s place in Lilydale. They are overlooking the Yarra Valley/Healesville’ish fires and some of the smoke is probably from Marysville or St Andrews. I am still kicking myself that I didn’t have the camera with me on the Saturday as it was eerily spectactular from up there, at some stages we could see flame.
Fires continue to burn around the state of Victoria and we still have friends in threatened areas. As many of you know, the town of Marysville has been almost entirely burnt. The photo to the left is the aftermath of fire at the ESA campsite – where I have been and led on several camps.
More ESA photos can be found here.
If you can offer help in any way the ABC website has a link of networks to those such as the Red Cross or Salvation Army.
