Every year we hear about the devastation of bushfires that sweep through the Australian wilderness. Houses are lost, and people are often left stranded.A little known fact is one of the great features of the Australian bush is the way it regenerates afterwards.
Oliver set out to capture the aftermath of the fire that rampaged through Victoria's Grampians, racing north east towards Halls Gap.
What caused them?People often ask if they were lit, or if they're a natural phenomenon...
The bushfires in the Grampians are generally thought to be caused by lightning, camp fires or occasionally fuel reduction burns that get out of control.
Many native species rely on bushfires to open their protective seed pods so that their seeds can germinate.When Oliver arrived not long after the grass had started to grow, there had been some good rains, and the trees began shooting out again. Best of all, he even managed to find a few little waterfalls tucked away between the boulders.
