Post Bush Fire Beach Walk

The black sediment is bush fire debris that fell from the sky.

 Earlier that day we suffered through 42* (107*F) blasting westerly winds

 and smoke choked the air. We all hung out at the beach

 and wondered what we'd do if the fires came much closer. 

At 2:30 there was a southerly change and the temp dropped 15-20 degrees in ten minutes. 

We were all relieved but a total fire ban was in place until the day we left.
