Fires down the Hume


Tim and I drove down the Hume Hwy to the city this week. When we hit Kilmore East (the starting point of one of the most devastating fires to hit Victoria this Saturday) we followed the path the fire had travelled down the centre of the freeway.



The freaky thing was seeing a green paddock, surrounded by blackened paddocks. One house still standing, the one next door burnt to the ground. And every now and then, people who had obviously fought off the fires, with their house remaining in the middle of a black field. The fire followed the path the wind made for it and didn't divert, it was travelling at such a speed.
