Pictures say 1000 words : Black Saturday 14 years on

Photographer Rob Carew was in the Healesville area at the time of the Black Saturday bushfires on 7 February 2009.

His images archive a day in history which saw approximately 400 fires recorded across Victoria and 78 communities affected with tragically so many lives lost.

Now a Star News Group photographer, Mr Carew has shared with us some of the images he captured on that day and the days beyond for the 14 year anniversary.
