Lake Mokoan Central Victoria
My mate Andrew is responsible for taking me to this spot.. nice one stretch! Location - Lake Mokoan, off the Hume Hiway near the town of Benalla. It’s a rare thing to find a lake in Victoria with any trace of water in it. Although after the recent heat wave it”ll be lucky not to be bone dry. A five shot stitch with a 50mm lens – Nikon D300. Shot at Dusk, we spent the night camped by the shore and caught the sunrise too, I’ll post it later.
Bushfire Disaster
I shot this on Saturday 7th of Feb, This was taken at around 1pm. This grass fire east of kilmore ended up getting huge and fanned by strong winds and high temps reaking havoc and devastation to the towns around the vicinity of Mt Dissapointment, Whittlesea and Kinglake with a huge loss of life. Tempartures reached 48 degrees . I tracked this fire down to Whittlsea then had to leave as it raged out of control. Absolutley tragic.
This was the scene south of Wandang as it reached the foot hills of Mount Dissapointment, pretty horrendous stuff.
Fire raging behind properties at Heathcote Junction south of Wandang, don’t know whether this house survived or not.
