On Saturday 7th of Febuary 2009, Melbourne temperatures hit a record high of 46.4 °C (115.5 °F) the hottest temperature ever recorded in an Australian capital city, humidity was as low as 6% and winds in excess of 100km were recorded. At 11:20 the first fires were spotted by the time they were extinguished over a month and a half later 173 people had died, 3,500 buildings were destroyed and 4500 km² 450,000 ha (1,100,000 acres) were burnt. The amount of energy released during the firestorm in the Kinglake-Marysville area was equivalent to the amount of energy released by 1,500 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs. Six months on I visited the forests above Marysville and disturbing as it is thought I would share a few before and after shots of some waterfalls I visited. Cumberland Falls / Before After Upper Cumberland Falls / Before After (note that even the moss next to a water course has been burnt off the rocks) Cora Lynn Falls / Before After The scale of this disaster on a human and natural level is hard to comprehend. Hopefully one day I’ll get to re-shoot these locations after they have fully regenerated. Trav

Magic Morning by Clare McClelland

The air tastes so good on a day like this.. I was lucky to get airborne in another balloon on this spectacular morning. Our flight path took us over the beautiful Yarra Valley in Victoria, dawn’s golden fingers spread out to warm the valley below as the mist was rising from the chilly lowlands. Our craft drifted in suspended dreaminess through the perfect magic of the morning..

Another in the series on Straw Bales. I promise this is the last ( for now anyway). This is out by Kangaroo Ground.
