 The only road in this valley which made it impossible for people to leave the valley once the firestorm had hit. The lesson - don't be in fire-prone regions in extreme fire-risk days if you don't need to be - you may not get much warning and little chance of escape. The speed of the fire front caught many locals by surprise. Australia's worst disaster on record. The horrors of Black Saturday will be etched into the memories of this generation forever. | 2K0C0188.jpg
