Wombat rescue calls in
St Andrews and
Strathewen brought me to some of the areas hardest hit by the bushfires of February's
Black Saturday. The photo above was taken along Heidelberg Kinglake Rd, which winds its way from St Andrews to Kinglake.
Thirty-eight people perished in
Kinglake, a devastating number for a community of 1500.
Welcome to Kinglake.
Remains of a business in Kinglake's former charming downtown.
This photo was taken from the front gate of what was once an idyllic mountain home.
One can only pray its inhabitants escaped to safety.
Many trees are covered with green shoots, a harbinger of resiliency. 
Entire hillsides were scorched.
Just south of Kinglake it's majesty as usual in country Victoria.
