Blackened Bikeride

This morning I jumped on the bike and headed off to check out the damage from Thursday's fire.

Click on the photos for a larger view.

We live to the west of the local airport and this photo shows the eastern fence line. The worst part of the fire went to the east of the airport.




I have previously had photos of the Duckpond area. The fire burnt around the duckpond and right up to Caloundra Rd (the main road in from the Bruce Hwy).



The fire crossed Pelican Waters Blvd and burnt right up the Little Aths running track and the Village Life Retirement home. These stumps were still smouldering this morning.



This photo shows beside the Village Life Retirement Village looking towards the Little Aths grounds.





The last photo I took was as I was returning home. It shows looking through blackened trees towards the airport.
