Kinglake-350 to VKC. Urgent, do you read me?


The fire's here now. God help us.




Kinglake-350 is a masterpiece of writing about family, community, country life and what happens when a day of ultimate terror arrives.



Adrian Hyland takes a dramatic and compelling sequence of events on that day and weaves them into a picture of universal significance and deep fascination.




On 7 February 2009 Roger Wood was the police officer in charge of Kinglake, at the epicentre of the worst bushfire disaster in Australia's history, Black Saturday. As the firestorm engulfed the community, he risked his life, again and again, to try and save people.
With the fire raging all around, he phoned home to warn his wife what was coming. She screamed that the fire had already hit their property. Then the line went dead.




Black Saturday was a many-headed monster in whose wake stories of grief, heroism and desolation erupted all over the state of Victoria. This is a book about the monster-and the heroism of those who confronted it.

This book is simply amazing. It conveys the sense of fear, danger, devastation, loss and destruction of Black Saturday. The explanations of the conditions, the bush, fire and the weather are just brilliant. It's the kind of book that makes your mind and heart race and your eyes fill with tears.
