Part of hills life is preparation for summer, for fire season. Its a yearly task that for a few weeks fills spare time with cutting grass and removing fallen vegetation, sticks and leaves. The reward for all this hard work is a nice big bonfire.

Bonfires are natures TV. The bushmans television.

Its impossible not to be drawn into a fire, to stare lost in random thoughts. Its ever changing nature is hypnotic.

These few images here are from our last fire of the 2014 season before summer hits hard with its dry. It was a beauty!
