It is a little hard to be up beat at the moment.
I grew up down the road from the bush fires. My mates and I would stop off at Marysville to hit the bakery on the way for a day of cross country skiing and the Narbethong pub on the way back. My family would camp at Murrindindi. My brother lived at King Lake for a couple of years.
Marysville has been removed from the map. Narbethong gone. King Lake razed. So many people dead, so much destruction. The death toll stands at 128. That will not be the final figure.
