The fine line.

These fires! Let's hope for some useful rain soon, Steve.

I think there needs to be a very large shift in thinking of management of the bush so these do not happen as bad as this. I was told this was lite by 4 children but that it has not been made 100% public because of there age.... while I am praying for no clouds for the night sky I am praying for some soaking rain not our usual rain in Perth 50 drops an hour... I do believe that Australia can not go on like this and let the fires like this happen so close to people with out some real active management.

I know that like me you where impacted by the fires but by inlarge we got out scott free those that lost every thing deserve better that what they got. I almost hate watching the news this year.

Goodness that's a terrible sight Steve
HFF and a prayer for rain

It is Rodger but over the rest of Australia it is even worse, some thing has to be done about it in the long term. praying for rain is about all we have left in a time of year we have totally cloudless skies for days and days. HFF and do hope you have a great weekend.

HFF and a nice weekend

Many thanks It is not a good start to the year. HFF and all the very best.

HFF and HANWE:)

Happy 2020 also!

Thank you HFF from down under.

It's really terrible, to hear the news from Australia. I hope, our friends in Maryborough are ok.
Wish you a coold and rainy weekend.

When you look at the link it looks very grime out look this year. I hope you find out if they are ok nothing worse than not knowing. HFF hope your weekend is a good one.

Devastating documentary Steve. Keep safe.

HFF, have a great weekend.

Herb If you see the link above you get to see just how bad it has been on the land. I have never know a year like this start of this year just hope its all over soon. Cost is not just trees but wildlife as well then the human cost. HFF hope you dont face this any time soon...

HFF to you Steve! It looks to me a wonderful place...

Greetz, Christien

Thanks it certainly is a land very different to the rest of the world. HFF

Keep safe from the fires Steve.
HFF have a good weekend

I am trying to keep well clear of this type of events but its all around us if you see the link. HFF from the west.

quel triste paysage !! Courage aux australiens

It is but it will mostly recover much like the people , many thanks we need it at the moment when it looks like no end.

Heartbreaking, Steve. I could not help notice also that, once the fire has consumed all the vegetation, the empty bottle trash littering the roadsides is left as a further enduring testament to human disregard for nature ... Our thoughts are with Australia as you go through this catastrophic bushfire season and tragic loss of wildlife and vegetation.

That was some thing I noticed as well so many bottle shown by the fire every where next to the road. has not been a very good start to the summer season . Just hope that means the rest of the years is so much calmer to make up for this.

wild life and nature have been devastated but time will heal all.

It is a terrible siuation Steve and I really hope that you will soon have enough rain to help extinguish these endless fires. Stay safe. HFF and best wishes

They do seem endless the sad part is most are started by man rather than nature. Rain this time of year for us would be a miracle. HFF from the land down under.

Gotcha'.... Steve... keep well and stay safe... 'best wishes' to you all... from ....> David J'.

Thank you DJ its gladdening to know all on Ipernity have made it out this end of the fire safely.

Upsetting view! Rain clouds gave place to smoke clouds and redemption from such hell doesn't seem to occur soon. HFF and better safe days, Steve!

Thank you Dimas we certainly hope to see this end soon HFF and all the very best for your weekend.

My thoughts are with y'all. I know this won't help in anything, but it's truly heartbreaking to see all these burnt landscapes. Belated HFF, Steve.

There sure is plenty of them this year in Australia if you look at the link not much of Australia missed out on being burnt. HFF and all the best from down under.

We all just want the fires and smoke and hell to stop, don’t we, Steve? Belated HFF
