this was king lake seconds before the front hit us, with the carfe behind us and the hardware store and the petrol station just accross the road the only place we could go was insid ethe cafe.

it was still day time, but seconds later after this video it was pitch black and you couldn;t breath, your eyes were burning and you were just practiclly waiting to die.

this was the most horrific fire in australian history and i along with many other survivor's whitnessed it first hand. every person has there on survival story, and i woud like everyone to hear them.
