The return of high temperatures (33 Celsius / 91 Fahrenheit) and strong winds prompted officials to close schools and child care centers around Victoria State today.

People are very worried that conditions are ripe for another “Black Saturday,” the day the fires first broke out (2/7/09). Five fires are still burning out of control with 10 others listed as contained. The terraced garden in front of Barbara and Andrew’s home, which is usually lush and green with colorful flowers, shows how dry and fragile the environment is here in Victoria State.
