What a Cruise, What a Drive - Simply ORSM
Thanks to Theo for and Ron for keeping me in a the loop to what road you were taking to Lilydale, alot of impressed Spectators watched us travel around.
Don't know how to write what I felt inside when we passed through the first town that was devastated by the fires, so many driveways with no houses at the end of them, so many cleared blocks with nothing, just EVERYTHING was bunt and gone.
Its weird looking through the bush and just seeing sticks (trees) - I have seen the images but to see it yourself makes you realize how bad it was.
Noticed alot of the road side barriers were bent from fallen trees and Imagined if you were in your car trying to get out you couldn't as the road would be blocked.
Alot of water tanks being the only thing left on some blocks but on the positive side it looks like all the areas are cleared and ready for new houses to be rebuilt - a lot of new houses had already been completed
Great Pics Ben (DIFFWA) - THANKS
