Eight months since our property burnt and we now have about ninety percent ground cover again, the fire was hot. The Duns road fire burnt in seven hours what took three days to burn in the eighty's when I was an active fire fighter.
I am slowly replacing the top shed with two containers and a pod roof. I will add a back wall soon. From what I have been told by fire fighters on the other side of the valley my entire hundred acres was on fire within six seconds of the fire reaching the creek. Glad I was evacuated.

Hi Robert and Vicki,
Nice to see the natural recovery taking place. We are also pleased that you chose to evacuate. Is that another Blitz I see in one photo? Yours? 8.jpg Regards Rick and Jill.

Yes Rick that blitz is the basket case I bought. There was no room for it in the sheds, the fire raced over it and only burst two tyres, it didn't catch fire.
