As we have been inundated by a very destructive summer of bush fires, I have been thinking a lot recently about the power of fire. We learn fires are a natural part of the Australia bush system, enabling clearance and rejuvenation. However, now that our homes and private land has encroached far into the native landscape it causes far more damage and disruption to our lives. Bare. Baren. Black. Burnt. Cinders and twisted spines. Cinders and smoke. Devastated beauty.
