Thanks for all the ratings and fav's!

If your impatient the most intense part is from 1:30 to 2:40, however the beginning sets the scene well and gives it an ominous and dramatic mood so I recommend watching the whole thing ;) I recorded this from the Greyhound bus on our way from Airlie Beach to Hervey Bay, believe it was close to Rockhampton. The fires were burning all the way down to the road and I could actually feel the heat from the flames inside of the bus. Apparently the fires had been raging for some twenty odd days in the area by then. This capture was made on the evening of 20th Oct 2009.

From the look of it the firefighters had just cordoned off the area and allowed for traffic to pass when suitable, the entire area was so dry that it seemed implausible that much more than an attempt to limit the spread seemed likely.

As several people here have commented it does really look like the road to hell or a post apocalyptic scenery of some kind.

As for all you people stealing this vid and posting it as your own, how about creating some content of your own or at least give me some credit? Thanks. (less info)
