Bushfires scorched more than 400,000 hectares across Victoria this summer. A man is dead, 15,000 livestock have been killed, and over 250 homes have been destroyed. What’s unclear is the wildlife death toll. Here's why. au.news.yahoo.com/silence-afte...

Today's shift on the Fogarty's Gap fire was emotionally hard. We spent time going down streets to assess houses for damage. Walking around the ruins of someone's home, their loved gardens, their fruit trees, now all a tangled heap of metal & beams, is heartbreaking. Feeling sad for so much loss.
