Wheoh: Part 58  'ash' August 2023
Channel: Simon Pockley
Date: 10/09/2023

Fire conditions seem very similar to those preceding the last bushfire 10 years ago. They have promped, perhaps futile, work on the shed to save the timber from being turned to ash. Bryan and Marija assist with dry stone walling after the pile of stone has been uncovered with a small burn off. The southern and eastern walls are clad, and some fire pruning is attempted to reduce the fuel around the hut. My father's ashes are spread up on the ridge before Moshe and Dee arrive with their instruments...

A separate video was made for my brother and sister to record the spreading of my father's ashes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVn-NL4kfcQ
