Burned forest. Scorched patches of ground with the twisted remains of homes. And equally remarkably - properties untouched by the flames. Balmoral is an eerie and desperately sad sight.

firefighter Russell Scholes whose house burned down as he battled to help others.
"I loved my house. But my 쿠쿠 직수정수기렌탈=쿠쿠 슬림 직수정수기렌탈베스트
family are safe. My animals are safe and we helped protect the community and that's more important than the house," he says. "We'll move on and rebuild."
Balmoral Fire Station is awash with 이미테이션쇼핑=이미테이션미러급 이미테이션sa급 이미테이션쇼핑
that spirit of kindness. As exhausted firefighters continue to tackle spot fires, volunteers busily process donations of food, clothes, toiletries and bedding.
And perhaps more important, emotional support. Even among the stoicism of rural Australia you get a sense that's what is needed here in the days and weeks ahead.
One family of three whose 경산사동족발
home was destroyed sat in the station's kitchen, struggling to process their loss. Tears of shock and grief came in waves.
But there were also tears of gratitude, as the community rallied round them with hugs and warm words - even when there are none.
