Looking at that terrain, you can understand why it was so difficult to control.

Thanks for the images John.

That's the first word I thought of too.

These are some images Steve took on a drive towards the park.

Hi Col

Thanks for posting Steve's photos of the fire and aftermath. The panorama of the advancing front is something I have seen many times but never fails to make the hair on my neck stand up.
