A new year a new beginning. The photo album is redirected for the time being.
My spot as photograver is taken over by the Yeti. He is bigger so what can I say. Survival of the biggest is the word.

January started off with a fire in the Agnes Banks reserve  and the investigation of the 31 December 2002 fire.  

Later that month we got the fires in Canberra. (STARG1 and STARG2)

Fires from the Sky, this album contains a set of pictures "borrowed" from NASA.

A mixture of all sorts of incidents;

- Backyard burn

- House fire aftermath.

- Terrorist attack on a mailbox.

11 May backyard burn, the call came in as grass alight. The smoke of this backyard burn was visible from Castlereagh road.

24 May Chainsaw practise. Excellent day and learned heaps of new things.
