Wooroloo bushfire devastation leaves residents like Jessica Blackwell with nothing but memories
After days of panic, worry and uncertainty, Jessica Blackwell returned to her home north-east of Perth only to find its charred remains.
Key points:
- The Wooroloo bushfire raged uncontrolled for days last week
- Jessica Blackwell’s home was one of 86 properties destroyed by the blaze
- Property owners are still coming to terms with their losses
There was still a sense of shock and disbelief in her voice as she described the first moments of seeing the devastation caused after a massive fire tore through bushland and semi-rural properties in the Perth Hills.
Ms Blackwell did manage to get a quick glimpse of the damage last week before authorities closed off Tilden Park in Gidgegannup and its surrounds.
“It was really eerie,” she said.
