This property was in total disarray after fire went through.  Below is a fire free scene.
It could be said some farms look topsy-turvy at the best of times.
Every second vehicle was a B Double hauling a bumper wheat crop grown out west. 'Make hay while the sun shines' for research has found that wheat cropping is compromised long term by climate change.
 Gradually farmers will become unable to compensate for change in temperature and water resources and a region will cease production, less wheat, while a different climatic region might continue on.

 Fences have been replaced as thousands of kilometers were lost to the fires.  Donations of materials have been made and fencing teams have been to work but there are not enough to go round.
 Blaze Aid gathers volunteers to work as fencing teams at trouble spots such as this.  Blaze Aid is on the web.

Stock were lost in the fires.  Left with no pastures or fences, live stock has gone on agistment.  At the same time truckloads of feed has been donated and transported by growers.

A lot of farm houses and sheds were burnt down in the bush fires. Pastures and grazing lands with even short ground cover were engulfed by flames.  Two weeks on and green shoots are breaking through.

Bush fires have raged in the central west of the state seen here yesterday beyond Cassilis.
Photo in panoramic mode which for various reasons distorts the semi and has it driving in the opposite direction as in left hand right hand drive.  Fake views!
