My friend Gee and I went for a drive to the country area that was devastated in the black Saturday bush fires. They are asking people to come back as the rebuild is well underway an small businesses need customers.
We decided to visit a waterfall that has always been one of my favorites. It looked very different than before the fires a once hidden fall could now be seen from the approach road. Although the lack of trees and greenery was a little shocking there is plenty of new growth on it's way.We walk one of the tracks by the falls and we did about 4km up and down through the burned Forrest. Very little evidence of wildlife as sadly the animals did not fair well in the fires.
We then stopped at the local bakery for a late lunch. Although half the town is still empty blocks it was buzzing.
Marysville was by far the worst hit town by the fires loosing 90% of the houses and infrastructure and far to many lives. This little town has a big mountain to climb but it's good to see it's well over half way.
