I was recently walking through a burnt out area along the east side McKenzie Ck that was once brimming with flora and fauna. Prior to the fire trout, blackfish and yabbies could easily be spotted in the water. On the walk I saw nothing except 3 dead kangaroos and 5 wallabies in the creek floating or jammed under logs. Of interest this creek downstream becomes Horsham's water supply!

In relation to the fauna, Emu Park in Wartook look after sick and injured wildlife. They have been busy treating animals for fire related injury. As well as self funding their efforts in treating the animals, they rely on donations from local organisations.

Whilst living in the Gramps, climbing, walking and exploring I have developed an affinity for the area. To see the destruction of the bulldozers was one thing however, to see the devastation of the fire was another. In the face of the conditions present during the fires I condone the efforts of fire crews to stem the advancing fire from further affecting areas of the park, and private land. Not such a bad thing given regeneration is going to happen either way and the possibility of managing a bigger clean up could have meant the larger areas of the park be closed indefinitely.
