Great photos Paul.
I have been involved with house fires before and when you enter the hulk of the burnt out building they do project a feeling of darkness. You certainly never feel comfortable in or around one.
Thanks for allowing us to see what it really looks like.
Our thoughts are with the survivors.

One of the reason I asked what species of tree Paul was cutting.
All the other shots are of young trees or is it plantation ?.
I didn't know if it was a local or not,as the timber cutters left the forest over 30 odd years ago.
Now we are left with younger trees and more undergrowth to deal with as a Forrest management issue right across Australia.
just trying to get bearings on the country side-not that this is easy now its gone.
