It was heart breaking to see a town wiped out. I remember the Adelaide fires of '83. We lived at Elizabeth then. I also remember the terrible fires in Tassie in '67. A fire ball is something I have never had to face personally and hope I never do. I can remember in '83 seeing one on TV. It ran up a hill, dance along the ridge the ran back down to a valley. One of the most frightening things I've ever seen.
