Travelling
along the highway through bushfire devastated country.
Road
signs blistered from the heat of the fire.
Trees
on either side of the road now ghostly skeletons in a powdery grey
moonscape.
Smoke
haze thickens as we approach the burnt out area.
Thoughts
of travellers caught on the highway in a 20km long traffic jam, uncertain of
where the fire was.
Were
they in danger?
Were
their homes safe?
What
about their pets at home waiting for them?
