Pictures of the Dec 2001 Jan 2002 Bush fires in New South Wales
&
Scenes in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney

Bush fire smoke either side of Woolongong

Fire sweeping through the trees, sometimes leaves the leaves in the tops
sometimes burns absolutely everything and leaves black sticks

Only the walls remain

Sometimes even the walls are burnt down.  Most houses burn from the inside
to the outside.  The fire gets into the roof and up it goes from the inside first.

We did a tour of the Blue Mountains
