The skies across Perth this week have been vastly different from one day to the next. We are used to the bluest skies, but with bush fires raging across Perth the sky has turned grey.
We live a good 30 minutes away but there has been ash in the garden and the smell of smoke was very strong.
Over 70 homes were lost in these fires, along with all possessions. The fires spread so quickly that residents had to flee as quickly as possible. To make matters worse, thieves took whatever was left!

Tough week
Not good at all. Very sad. Keep save.
Yes very sad, lucky we are far away
What a week…so sad! Always take care!
Oh dear, I hadn’t things were so bad around you. Take care!
Thanks Debbie ..we are okay here but in the hills things are very bad ☹️
That is so scary. I hope things get better soon 😟
Well we’ve had some rain but the hot days are far from over
I hope you stay safe. The fires are scary — I live in the mountains and we have had seriously destructive fires in summer. Winter now here.
There have also been some down south ..three hours away but apparently they were started deliberately ..beggars belief
Most around here seemed to be caused by neglect, not adequate putting out a campfire, but some by lightning.
I hope you stay safe. The fires have been reallys cary this year, all over the world.
We’ve had a couple of days if rain so hopefully that helps
Wow! Those colors are amazing!!! Great photos 🙂
Thanks 😎
