November 2015 a massive bushfire went through this area, and here you can see some regeneration
happening on the verge of the road. This area is known for growing hard wheat, and in November
many crops were unreaped or partly reaped, with huge machinery often left in situ to follow on
the job the day after. So many crops were lost and the machinery burnt... and as I mentioned
with yesterday's photo..the following story.

We were at a fund-raiser recital for the unfortunate people who
lost everything in the summer fires in the Pinery area of South Australia.
91 homes were destroyed and 2 lives were lost in the blaze spanning more than 82,000
hectares (203,000 acres). Many livestock were killed, including more than 53,000 poultry,
nearly 18,000 sheep, 500 pigs, 87 cattle, 19 horses and five alpacas
