Black Saturday 7 February 2009 - was the worst natural disaster in Australia's history. 173 people died in various bushfires around the State of Victoria. The Churchill fire resulted in 11 fatalities, 247 houses being lost, and an overall area of 24,500 hectares (60515 acres) being burnt. Churchill, overlooked by the Strzelecki Ranges, has a population of around 5,000 people. (Modified excerpts from the 25 minute version).

  • These fires really did cover Victoria, i was near the fire in Ferntree Gully as was my father, My girlfriends mum was near the fires up near Murrindindi and her father was near the fire down in Churchill... such vast differences on the same day... bad day

  • Such a scary day..

    

  • Bushfire season is upon us. May these sad images remind us to prepare ourselves just in case we find ourselves in a simular situation.

  • Sad memories return with this short video. From my point of view, well told.
