It's been exactly one year since last years devastating bush fires took so many lives. Having visited the devastation earlier in the year I still weep a tear when I re-read stories of the horrific scenes that faced people of the area.

While searching on Google Street View I revealed an amazing effect with most photos originating before the fire.

It is a very scary sight, as one click down the street on the view reveals the two contrasting pictures.

Try it yourself and take some time to remember the tragedy today.

Took a little over 19 minutes to notch up my first run on the 3.8km Tan track. It's slow but above the 20 minute mark I set myself. I then lost my breakfast 3 times after the 8 uphill suicides following the run. Hope it's worth it all!

I have no intention of using Myki, but after the government pissed away many millions of dollars into this festering pile of technological retardation, I wanted my free card.
