Local people will have heard of Murrindindi now after the fires. I had not really before the fires.
LiD had a professional photographer with her when she took a look see at the area.
Actually, they were taken over a period, very noticeable by green grass. Take a
look. Pretty spesh.
Why is it place names become renown for tragedy far more than happiness, forever shrouding the town in grief?
ReplyDeleteIt does for a time Jayne but isn't all fame good? Take Beasconsfield in Tassie where the mine disaster happened. I would have never have known about the pretty little town otherwise and if I was in northern Tas, I would be sure to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous place Andrew, it will re generate of course, but it is sad that the fires are just this bad. Today is a tense day for me as I watch the CFA and DSE for my Aunt's area near Dayelsford. School closures, road closures...activated fire plans..
ReplyDelete:(
Yeah, I was well tuned into Dayelsford. Fortunately, all well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew. I called this area 'happy country', when I first started blogging. It will be that again one day. I just hope that very soon the crisp Autumn days will bring some real relief.
ReplyDeleteSlight Autumnal feel to the air some mornings LiD. But not tomorrow!
