MARGARET RIVER FIRE REVEALS THE POWER OF NATURE
A major fire in the Mammoth Cave region of WA’s Margaret River in December 2021 demonstrated the awesome power of bushfires. For a week the massive blaze ripped through the LeeuwinNaturaliste National Park, destroying 8,000 ha of unique forest and local infrastructure. Department of Fire and Emergency Services Incident Photographer Sean Blocksidge captured some of the startling images from the event. Have you taken photos from a recent job or experience?
