DESKTOP 2332 - SMOKY SKY
Thick haze descended on Melbourne today, with a north-easterly wind carrying smoke from the fatal NSW bushfires into our city, a distance of hundreds of kilometres. The temperature soared to a maximum of 45˚C making for apocalyptic scenery and a terrible day to have to be outdoors... This post is part of the Skywatch Friday meme.

DESKTOP 2041 - ANTECEDENT
Four bushfires in Victoria’s east have joined into a raging blaze, putting lives and homes at risk as winds fuel the out-of-control fire. The fires merged at Bunyip state park near Tonimbuk, about 65km east of Melbourne, causing a blaze of about 3,400 hectares in size, last Saturday. An emergency warning was issued, with residents told it was too late to leave.
Tonimbuk, which borders Bunyip State Park, was in the direct path of a massive fire that swept through over the weekend. A map of the area from the Country Fire Authority shows a large section of black over the township, which is believed to have been all destroyed. At the last census, Tonimbuk was home to 208 people. Winemaker Andrew Clarke is among them. As bushfires ripped through the region, he could do nothing but stare at a screen in horror and disbelief at what he was watching on live TV: His winery and vineyard exploding in flames...

DESKTOP 1907 - BUSHFIRE
Bushfire in Victoria in 2009. The flames of a wild fire such as this always strike terror in the hearts of all those people nearby. Such fires can have devastating effects with great losses of property, livestock, forests, wildlife and of course human lives... However, the Australian landscape and climate has adapted to and depends on bushfires to regenerate. See here.

DESKTOP 1818 - IT'S COSY INSIDE
The wind and rain are lashing the streets outside; the window is all wet and raindrops are trickling down. Cars struggle to drive home through the storm and few people are braving the elements this evening.
But, it's cosy inside!
