Rebuilding after the Black Saturday catastrophic bush fires in Kinglake, Victoria, Australia.


Rebuilding houses at Kinglake which was one of the worst affected communities of the catastrophic 2009 Australian Bush Fires in the state of Victoria. 173 people were killed and many more left injured and traumatised, with 7000 left homeless. The fires were as a result of a prolonged drought and extreme high temperatures, conditions that are being exaserbated by climate change. The owners of this property have erected a thankyou sign to the Australians that contributed to the relief fund to help the victims rebuild.
