Bushfires in Tasmania

We went to Tasmania for a two week holiday over December/January. While we were down there we made a day trip to Port Arthur. The bush fires happened to start on the same day. Over the course of the afternoon, while we were still on the island, the fire spread over the Dunalley Bridge, the only way to and from Port Arthur. We spent five hours at an evacuation centre before they sent a ferry to the peninsula that would take us to Hobart. These are photos I took whilst at the evacuation centre in Numbeena. It was ridiculously hot that day. Up to 40 degress I think.
