A final shot of the aftermath of the major bushfire at Warrumbungle National Park earlier this year. The hill in the background probably hasn’t been visible from my viewpoint for a very long time (due to the density of the foliage that has now disappeared).

A view of the fire’s aftermath, and looking west past the Warrumbungle range out onto the plains.

After such an intense fire all that’s left is charcoal – and then the regrowth signals the return of life.
