Lobethal Fires 2 months on - Vale

As a Group we visited the aftermath of the fires in December that had swept through the countryside surrounding Cudlee Creek and Lobethal in the Adelaide Hills.

This is 2 months after the fire and 60mls of rain later. The grass and flowers returned!

Too close for comfort! This is the town of Lobethal and it's brush with the fire front

House saved here but not much else

Total devastation of this property

Many vineyards lost grapes both to fire and also to smoke taint

The burnt out stump of a wooden fence post

Even steel could not take the heat

But Blaze Aid came to the rescue 

The remains of the devastation

Hearth and Home - long gone

The random nature of the fire storm trees missed and trees destroyed

Everywhere utter destruction

But signs of regrowth

Hope as nature reclaims what was destroyed
