Mount Tassie

Thank you Adgray,

it definately sends a clear picture and message doesnt it, this area where the photo was taken was mostly plantation forest, some farms a little further up the road is The tarra Bulga national park which hardly got touched by these horrible fires.

cheers

Thanks Mate,

standing up on Mount Tassie it was 360 degrees as far as the eye can see all burnt. I was facing east when i took this shot. It is incredibly sad as the town in Gippsland where alot of people died wasnt far from where i took this shot.

cheers

ps

I just dont think it will recover, i think it will be like some of the alpine areas like woods point where nothing has come back and you sink a foot into the ground as the fire had been so intense that the dirt was also burnt.

cheers

Thanks Mate,

you should get Tony to take you up into the Mountain areas that burnt out in 2007 and photograph them, that would be an eye opener for everyone, that sometimes the forest and the bush dont come back even though there Australian Native plants and need fire sometimes because of the extreme heat that just dont regrow.
People i think need to be told about this and shown what happens to some of that beautiful apline forest, because I dont think people are totally aware of the whole picture, there aware of death and sorrow and lose but are they aware of what happens to the beautiful forest and vegetation.
Sometimes i think people take it far to for granted.

cheers

Yes you should take a deep breath be brave, take your camera and go for a drive, there should be some greenie come out by now up there. I cried when i drove through The Yarra valley to King Lake, King Lake West and Flowerdale and the same reaction when I went from Healesville through The Black spur, Marysville was god cant even tell you the feeling I had it was sicking, the forests up there are destroyed in some parts and right through up to camberville and up to Taggerty in the other direction.

cheers
