@MrZethyo Sorry, don't wish to be mean but you are not a victim, never call yourself that. If you were in the middle of this horror, as I was, trapped and terrified, waiting to die, you call yourself a survivor, as I do.
We need the world to see, to understand why it will take us many years to get over this, if we ever fully do.
All hail our heroes, the CFA, so many lost their homes while protecting us, other citizens who stood tall, put aside their fear and helped others.
@sapphire60s TOO TRUE!!! I am a Survivor and am STILL Trying to get my life back!!!
Too many people LOVE to Try to be involved/ victims etc etc...We ARE the real victims and we were Maybe saved as i was...By a Miracle..Though so so many of my lifetime friends were not..
I think you Would agree...That we would Both prefer to never ever have this happen and Not be victims ???
Strange when you see pictures of burned out homes that the only things left standing are the fireplaces and chimneys - where the fire should have been!
@MrZethyo He/she put this on so people can remember that faithful day. I was a victim as well mate, but I had never looked back at this for a long time now. Long live the towns that fell! For they are now rebuilt. R.I.P everybody who was lost on that day. It will still haunt us all.
When the cool change came in the late evening; i thought to myself well the danger has passed an i went to bed. Then at about 3 am someone in my street said we are losing towns an people, i jumped up an started to cry thinking omg in the distance i could see the glow of red an i prayed that it would pass without grief but that was to be put into a tragic context. But we are Australians we banded together an we came when someone needed a hand an we will always prevail. We will remember....
When people ask me what am I most proud of? I look them in the eye and I say I am proud to be an Australian, when someone asks you that question you too will look them in the eyes and say I am proud to be an Australian. For even in our darkest hour there is one thing we can always depend upon and that is each other.
@kilmalletgodsortmout for me, i am most proud to be a Volunteer firefighter and to now be apart of a legacy of heroes, i always looked up to them a a kid, and now i am one. i am so happy to be apart of that now.
Omg i saw thins on the news. I cant believe how close it got to melboure. And i cant believe it riped through the whole state. Aman lost his whole family in the fires. His daughter died in his arms :'(
Ash Wednesday 1983 was even closer ... Despite how disastrous Black Saturday was, Ash Wednesday filled Melbourne with still burning leaves and the smoke and smell was quite thick.
Even though the winds were going the other way... it was amazing how little smoke was in Melbourne ... you wouldn't have known what was happening unless you looked north.
Melbourne certainly lacked the atmosphere of what was going on.
That final photo, of the single fire engine with the mountain of fire behind it, that for me is the photo memory of that time. It says so much about how small we are and how, as much as we like to think we are in control, yeah, right. It will happen again, that's the nature of this country, but hopefully we will be smarter and bail before it gets critical.
Lives and loves are worth more than sticks and stones.
My father and uncle were firefighting in Ash wednesday. Very similar except it was spread out over SA a bit also. Uncle ended up being trapped under a firetruck as the fire passed. Minor burns and lost his hair and eyebrows.
@AMandJBproductions Thank god it wasn't worse.. My dad's a member of the RFS and has just retired from his work. He was a manager for NPWS, acted as Incident Controller for the majority of fires in our region/state (NSW) in the past 20 or so years.. thankfully that has kept him in less dangerous positions a lot of the time. So grateful to all those who are fighting, and have fought, fires to keep us safe. So utterly deserving of all the recognition and thanks they can get.
@AMandJBproductions ...Yes you are right, sadly Sam died after developing abdominal cysts due to a condition called urogenital chlamydiosis, which affects up to 50 percent of the koala population. Sam was a female koala. I believe the picture and mobile phone clip did go viral on the internet, friends from overseas mentioned it.
I am a Kinglaker who was trapped during the fire and saw so much devastation, human (we all know so many who died) animal and flora, terrible trauma for us.
@sapphire60s At least the main thing is it's all over now and we can work more on our prevention tactics. I strongly believe in leaving the day before but many stayed and well you don't have a chance. It's like being in a small kyak in huge 100ft waves. This wasn't just a bushfire this was a firestorm with flames raising many meters into the air blowing crazily in all dircetions and wipeing down all life in it's way.
@AMandJBproductions You don't have to tell me what it was, I was trapped in the horror, I felt and lived it. I had only just moved to the mountain ranges and was told about the last fire and that is why I did not leave. That is why so many did not leave. Why do people believe we knew what was going to happen and decided to stay anyway that we willingly and knowingly risked the lives of our children. Communications failed us, Russell Rees failed us because he knew and fiddled while we burned.
brickie1304. R u Fucking high. What the fuck would drive u to say that the government organised that whole thing. U r a Fucking dickhead. R.I.P everyone who lost their lives in this tragic event
Whoever called Australia a 3rd world country doesn't know what a 3rd world country is. Just cos we had Black Saturday doesn't mean that were a 3rd world country.
i cant believe someone would call australia a third world country when we just went through that): obviously he didnt know how much pain and suffering we went through):
I wish that I lived closer to you, I would volunteer to help with the fires. It is hard to realise the magnitude of these fires and the sadness it leaves behind, fortunately we do not have to many forest/grass fires in the UK. Seeing your video is a stark reminder that you all had the determination to pull together. God bless you all. Ron
@29649ron Thank you from one who was trapped in the middle of the horrific firestorm terror. I'm glad you were not close because it was something no one could fight. Not one person would have willingly had a single child on the mountain ranges to burn to death. We did not know and that is why so many of us died. From my front window I can see where a family of 4 died so close to safety. I am so fortunate family and I survived and only lost fences, garden and veranda roof, homes around gone.
@SylvieKloot you fucking cunt you dont no what it was like how about if i burn your home town and see how you like it and you lose everyone you love take a good look i lost so meany of my mates and ppl like you dont care you can go get fucked hope you burn and you will see what its like
@SylvieKloot you ignorant slut did you watch the video, or just post something cos u seem to hate Australians. Wake up to your self before you post something like that, you fkn idiot
@SylvieKloot you ignorant slut did you watch the video, or just post something cos u seem to hate Australians. Wake up to your self before you post something like that, you fkn idiot

@SylvieKloot Fuck you! I hope your country burns to the ground because you are useless and arrogant. We will always prevail over scum and filth like yourself. Die cunt die!
@SylvieKloot Take a good look at YOURSELF. "A few hundred citizens and houses" may not seem like much to you but, to someone with a heart, we acknowledge that included fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, people's homes & memories. You have obviously never lost some one you love & you have obviously never been in a position to have to start your life from nothing. Also, where do you get off saying there is still evidence of damage? Have you visited this area? I have and things are on the mend...
@SylvieKloot i hope u get ur fucking throat slit open and everyone u love fucking burns harder than Black Saturday, u talking shit all the way over there behind ur computer, shows ur a gutless bitch with no regard for human life.
U would have no idea wat it feels like to lose so much, u would have no fucking clue, And in the end this 'Weak country' as u call it stuck together and fought it out, something u would have no understanding of im sure.
OMG, I live in Flowerdale where about 80% of the houses burnt, I lost everything outside my house (car, caravan,garage,sheds and all that kind of stuff) this is the 1st time I've watched anything like this, and it hurts, it hurts alot but what adds to the hurt is the talk of conspiracy, WTF, I'd just like to say, you can stick that theory where the sun don't shine ! Think and then RE-THINK because that kind of talk only adds to peoples hurt and we can really do without any more.
walkabout09 you must be sharp as a chisel yourself mate... or blind as a moron for calling me and bricki1304 ignorant. open your eyes mr toolbox before calling anyone ignorant because developments commenced already.
as much as id hate to say this its plain obvious the government coupled with powerful co-operations paved this land for future housing development. briki1304 i agree with you mate its smack bang plain in your face obvious who the real perpetrators are.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This bushfire was Goverement conspiracy to clear the land cheaply and very effectively instead of using greeny laws....which would of cost millions to clear this land instead this way we paid for it
this made me cry.. :( gosh. this was so shocking.. we were all praying for it to calm, my thoughts with everyone who lost family, friends, pets, homes... R.I.P
Tomorrow is the first anniversary and we will weep once again for those lost. But we will help the survivors rebuild their lives in honour of those now gone. We must, we are one we are Australian. RIP
Oh, that's very sad to see. Good thing is that you Australians, are capable of helping each others, no matter what, who and where, it's a very humanistic attitude that no single person is left out to get help. Keep the great soul, God is watching.
No matter how bad things get, we will always stand tall we will stand proud, for we are one we are many we are Australians. And we never say it can't be done.
@kilmalletgodsortmout Amen mate. The only rival to the fire destroying our homes and lives is the national fire inside our hearts forging lifelong bonds of friendship and love.
There is a way to protect all the fire zone population ,but unfortunately process of bureaucracy and corruption put this summer this population in risk again,hopping that the people will forget and the fire not going to be the same like last year.
hahaha.......your quite witty,.for a paranoid schizophrenic....and a china-man to boot..{not renowned for having a sense of humor..if any a childlike humor..}

@sheepsfoot2 First, what I said is what some of my clients of dream interpretation told me, they talked so much and that bothered me, that is why I'm here. Second, you believe there are no human naimals and monsters in governments and religion, then have it your way. And they have tons of agents on the Internet to cover their ass. And that is why people talk about silent dogs or silent bitches(1)(2), same dogs set the bushfire.
@BenjaminXYang how does a bushfire warning have anything to do with planes your full of it mate i was in healesville when the fires happened and there was no warning just because some planes fucked up doesnt mean nothing about bushfires .. r.i.p to every body that past in them fires my heart goes to all of your familys
I didnt say mother nature is the cause entirely, i said nature is fragile, i said humans are causing the damage, obviously, you have a compassionate PM, but not a crisis manager, In times of crisis you need a tough individual, who can identify the causes and ACT. you Aussies have had it a few times now, So you should know the solution, Even if they are tough, you have no choice,
true that. so important that your family knows how you feel about them! especially when everything changes in an instant. three houses lost in Tasmania and it's only November.
yes me and my mate were talking about this summer fire storms.we are building a firebunker on our property here in queenland we have had hi winds and heat .the idots are already out lighting them, 70,000 hec burnt out last wendays just near my farm south of 1770.councel workers seen a man pull of the road minnets later up it went..dam crazzy
The photo at 1.06 is Melbourne. The view from King Lake West. It was on the back of the Herald Sun on Thursday the 12th of Feb 2009. I kept it as a reminder that we are all at risk no matter where we live. I live in one of the towns that made it to the top 50 towns at most risk for the coming season of 2009/10. When I look at this photo I realise we can never be too prepared.
So true . compered to the resent fires in the USA were 4000 +fire fighters close in backed up with 747s,huge choppers and the likes dumping gallons of retardent .makes us look like a joke!
Thats right the state goverment couldent give a rats ass ! the commuity and towns people will have to build there own bunkers .property owns the same.
Are you for real? do you even live in Vic?? There were hundreds of ads and warnings in the media all year before about getting a fireplan and so on. A lot of people were in fact very well prepared, they just didn't realise how quick the fire was moving.
I dont think it will happen again at this same magnitude becuase last time we were not prepared and we didnt expect it. But this time, we are prepared.
best of luck if you do man, those fire fighters have some balls doing what they do, im just back from a holiday in melbourne(from ireland) and man reading about what happened on black saturday is heart breaking
Im sitting here now listening to fire trucks screaming past. Im in Nowra NSW and they are heading to another bushfire that has started at the bottom of Cambrewarra Mountain this is the fourth fire in the Shoalhaven area today. It is still Winter, and we are officially classified in a bushfire emergency. God help us this summer.your vid is brilliant, you can actually understand it better when you hear people describe fire zones as "the air was on fire" your pictures clearly show that. RIP ......
Well my area has always been classed as a high level bush fire zone ( South East Queensland ) But I don't think it is as bad as central north of NSW and parts of Victoria as well but these things happen we just have to deal with them as best as we can.
I live in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. I've been keeping up to date with the emergency your towns are facing and it is shocking, how fires are startin in winter and classed as an emergency. This summer is going to be a bad one and hopefully, there won't be any bad fires like Victoria. All we can do now is hope and pray.
ha ha, you're funny!! how much more funnier would it be if someone soaked you in petrol and set you alight, that would be impossible to contain the laughter!!!
Your quiet welcome :) this video was also played in Cinemas in Romania, a magazine editor in romania seen this video and contacted me and asked for it to be played over there and I got 2 videos sen't back and one of the videos showing this being played in the cinemas, a full cinema too! :P
Hey man , great Vid. 4 months on it still raises strong emotions watching what we went through. Now its snowing in Marysville. Mother Nature is a cruel mistress
Life is so much easier for those who don't live in bushland prone areas, life goes on for you guys, even though these events were 5 months ago, we still suffer through this. I guess for all those people who dont give a shit about anyone but themselves. When your house is on fire, who do you hope will save you?
hello people. Well hope mine hello brings some rain up there. Gosh i was out of action since news up here ( lithuania) don't show much at all about australia. But after i saw this.. God i feel sorry for people who lost so much cause of such joke of nature... (or not). I say 5 for the video since for me ( and i bet most of those who watched it) allmsot or did thrown a sorrow in their eyes. That's just horrible :( be strong people. There's allways a light which comes after dark.
brilliant just wanderin where you got the photos and stuff from i m doin a skool project on bushfire relief and this would help me a lot...amazing video really shows the devestation and the pain,
Thanks for the appreciation. This short video was also played in a cinema in Romania and the people of Romania donated what they could for the people of Victorias bushfires. Check it out, it's amongest my videos.
hi there from one woodlands firefighter to our Australian brothers I know you guys did all you could and then some. As for the idiots that try justify things like this they are immature fools looking for attention ignore them good vid and awesome score
to whom that would like to poorly comment this video should be ashamed. to those who argue about god and tries to curse someone under his name, Gods loves everybody no matter what. Spare a thought for those who fought the fires and those who'd lost their lives.
anyway...getting back to the actual issue (jeez, it amazes me how much crap has filled up in these comment spaces of these bushfire clips, when you'd hope it would all be well wishing, and any anger should be directed at the bloody arsonists or narrow minded conversations who prevented clearing fires breaks) the fires were devastating and tragically affected so many lives, lets help them recover what they can from this disaster, and work to ensure that it never happens again, cheers.
To all you normal, decent human beings: don't bother replying to the low-lifes like socceroo1990, they're either just trolls trying their hardest to anger you and elicit the exact response youre giving them because they are very sad, pathetic people, bored with their own lame lives, or just truly horrible people who, hopefully, through a karma type event or through their own act of stupidity eliminate themselves from the gene pool, and we never have to hear their crap again, cheers!
There is no almighty God. Weak people think that something like that exists so that it can fix their weaknesses and punish others for theirs.
Hope is the opposite of the will to act. In having faith or hope, you demand of others to do what you cannot, because are weak.
Nothing is perfect, everything is merely a product of chaos. That is why there is no almighty God. Having hope is only natural since we are not perfect. But that does not mean one should be passive. Praying achieves nothing.
Tonight for the first time I felt ready to view what was available and your video had me crying. I lived through the Ringwood fires in '62 and was helping out in the Whittlesea and Flowerdale area for the first 9 days after this fire - the loss of so much is soul destroying.
Thank you. Sorry for your loss. This video i made is being featured in a screening premier in Romania for a aus romania fund do theres countrys around the world who are donateing and helping out, i will upload the screening and once again sorry for your loss.
@MrZethyo Sorry, don't wish to be mean but you are not a victim, never call yourself that. If you were in the middle of this horror, as I was, trapped and terrified, waiting to die, you call yourself a survivor, as I do.
We need the world to see, to understand why it will take us many years to get over this, if we ever fully do.

Use mighty power of nature
In the northwestern Australia, we have huge tides,
huge evaporation and huge dry rivers and lakes.
Evaporation is up to 4m per year.
Huge 12m tidal erosion can revive old dry paleo dormant once mighty rivers, creeks and lakes,
desalinate the country and change deserts to rain forests to provide more rain across Australia = less Bush Fires
World population is growing rapidly and we need more energy, food, land and water.

OMG, I live in Flowerdale where about 80% of the houses burnt, I lost everything outside my house (car, caravan,garage,sheds and all that kind of stuff) this is the 1st time I've watched anything like this, and it hurts, it hurts alot but what adds to the hurt is the talk of conspiracy, WTF, I'd just like to say, you can stick that theory where the sun don't shine ! Think and then RE-THINK because that kind of talk only adds to peoples hurt and we can really do without any more.

This bushfire was Goverement conspiracy to clear the land cheaply and very effectively instead of using greeny laws....which would of cost millions to clear this land instead this way we paid for it

Australian bush needs to burn the seeds are cracked by the heat of fire so when the rain falls new life begins.
Our problem is we let the fuel of forrests build up so when fires start they are hugh.
The Aboriginals use to burn about every 8 years to keep the fuel down.
They also used fire to flush out animals
for food.
we need to do more controled burns and allow more clearing around towns and houses.

Second, you believe there are no human naimals and monsters in governments and religion, then have it your way. And they have tons of agents on the Internet to cover their ass. And that is why people talk about silent dogs or silent bitches(1)(2), same dogs set the bushfire.

I didnt say mother nature is the cause entirely, i said nature is fragile, i said humans are causing the damage, obviously, you have a compassionate PM, but not a crisis manager, In times of crisis you need a tough individual, who can identify the causes and ACT. you Aussies have had it a few times now, So you should know the solution, Even if they are tough, you have no choice,

One step would be to ban Cigarettes, And sanction smoking,
Thats one big step, Careless smokers are responsible for a lot of fires around the world,

This is not mother nature, this is the stupidity of smokers, stupidity of a clownesque govt, wrath of aboriginal gods,
When u live in a fragile land, you have to be careful,
or get devoured by ensuing forces of circumstances
lunafringe10 2 years ago
The second part of your comments suggests that mother nature is the cause because we live on fragile earth.
Yes we have to be smarter, but not for the reasons you give us (other than cigarettes).
With the media getting hyped up as it will, the arsonists will be creaming their pants again. I hope the firefighters get on top of it quickly.

The photo at 1.06 is Melbourne. The view from King Lake West. It was on the back of the Herald Sun on Thursday the 12th of Feb 2009. I kept it as a reminder that we are all at risk no matter where we live. I live in one of the towns that made it to the top 50 towns at most risk for the coming season of 2009/10. When I look at this photo I realise we can never be too prepared.

Im sitting here now listening to fire trucks screaming past. Im in Nowra NSW and they are heading to another bushfire that has started at the bottom of Cambrewarra Mountain this is the fourth fire in the Shoalhaven area today. It is still Winter, and we are officially classified in a bushfire emergency. God help us this summer.your vid is brilliant, you can actually understand it better when you hear people describe fire zones as "the air was on fire" your pictures clearly show that. RIP ......

Well my area has always been classed as a high level bush fire zone ( South East Queensland ) But I don't think it is as bad as central north of NSW and parts of Victoria as well but these things happen we just have to deal with them as best as we can.
I hope all is well in your area.

I live in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. I've been keeping up to date with the emergency your towns are facing and it is shocking, how fires are startin in winter and classed as an emergency. This summer is going to be a bad one and hopefully, there won't be any bad fires like Victoria. All we can do now is hope and pray.

There is no almighty God. Weak people think that something like that exists so that it can fix their weaknesses and punish others for theirs.
Hope is the opposite of the will to act. In having faith or hope, you demand of others to do what you cannot, because are weak.
Nothing is perfect, everything is merely a product of chaos. That is why there is no almighty God. Having hope is only natural since we are not perfect. But that does not mean one should be passive. Praying achieves nothing.
