One of my contacts at Vimeo has shared the best video insights to the devastating Bushfires in Victoria, Australia. Originally from Victoria and within spitting distance of the some of the most devastated parts of the region I am shock and stunned at how bad this is. This is some of the most disturbing viewing I have seen to date on the Victorian Bushfires.

At the time of writing this post there are 173 confirmed dead which sadly is sure to rise and countless more animals that have also presihed. Lets all pray it stops soon.

Thanks for sharing that video Paul. I’ve been looking for a long time for video footage of the fires and the video you shared was “great” – if I can use that word for such a disaster.
I’m from Victoria too and, like many, am completely stunned by what’s happened over the last few days. Words can’t describe what these people have just been through.
So I tried to capture an essence of what’s happened in a photo video and posted on YouTube – you may care to take a look. My goal is to raise awareness of the aftermath of these fires – long after the TV cameras have left the areas in search for the next big story. You can view it here:

It is sad indeed to think about the animals that vanished in the firestorm. I live away from the disaster zone but can smell the smoke in the air from where i live. Like yourself, i too hope that this tragedy will end soon.

Awful situation down there. Glad to hear your friend and his family are OK. That photo of the firefighter and the koala provides at least one bright spot in a very dark situation.
