Twenty years ago conservation biologist Max James was drawn
to Wangarabell because he wanted a gentle bush life among Australia’s unique
plants, birds and animals.
Now in the fire-ravaged landscape, James is keeping
close tabs on the recovery of his quiet world, documenting the bird species
that survived the inferno and taking in the germinating plants along the creek,
which before the fires was inaccessible.
“All has been erased and now nature
has to come back through a blank, black canvas. It’s a lamentable game of
survival, but beautiful to watch.”
