Grampians National Park bushfire contained as rain brings relief

Firefighters have succeeded in containing the bushfires in the Grampians region. They worked tirelessly for the last three weeks and today's rain would have been a welcome relief. The bushfire covered 76,000 hectares of national park and farmland.
The Grampians/Gariwerd National Park and surrounding region shows you the rugged beauty of Nature. It's an ancient landscape, and experiencing it in person takes your breath away. I'm fortunate to have been there on holidays and hikes several times over years. I'm no expert, but I think that experience can give you some insights about why it's such an important and sacred place to local Indigenous people, and why it's been home to the Djab Wurrung and Jardwardjali people for more than 20,000 years.

I sincerely hope some of this rain is hitting the #HallsGap #Grampians fire and also heading to those near Ballarat and Gisborne.

Caught the sunrise on the way out of #HallsGap this morning.
A very nice way to start the day.
It never looks as good in a photo as it does in real life.
