Marysville, Strathewen, Kinglake….gone

February 10, 2009 by ausxser

Marysville WAS a gorgeous little town, with so much to offer.

We went there often, to visit the mechanical toys shop (which also housed a collection of historical Meccano models), picnic and walk to the falls.

Bruno’s Gardens….gone too…a man’s lifetime of work that he so generously shared with all who went there.

Strathewen and Kinglake - nothing left.

And to think – these towns are less than 100 kilometres from the centre of Melbourne.

I am feeling incredibly sad/guilty/ *insert undescribable feeling of something* here.

Australians are well known for digging deep, but I think for this one, we will need to call in favours.

    It is just terrible what these people have had to go through.

    It is so horrible. I’m struggling to wrap my head around it.

    Bruno’s Gardens. This is so tragic.
