During January of last year, there a fire blazed through Churchill Park/Police Paddocks in Endeavour Hills/Rowville. The CFA had sent 30 fire trucks, two aircraft and 115 firefighters to the control the fire (shown in the photo above and the video below).
It was pretty scary considering that Endeavour Hills has been my home town for the majority of my life. Bushlands is very much apart of where we live, let alone the rest of Australia. On some occasions, it was nice to have a family barbeque at the park. It’s lovely to be surrounded by beautiful trees. It’s sad to know that it’s all been destroyed.
Below are some photos I took of what it looks like one year after the fire. You can see some regrowth of the grass the trees, but most of it is still branches are still blackened. I’m hopeful that one day it’ll be back to what I remember it to be.
While Churchill Park was reasonably contained, the bushfires that ripped across Victoria was devastating. Hundreds of homes, let alone lives were lost. Australia will never forget what we now know as Black Saturday – our most tragic natural disaster in history.
