The raging bushfires destroyed almost half the little village of Mogo, mainly consisting of a series of old, mainly timber, shops selling into the coastal tourist market. This was a second-hand bookshop.

This road runs from Queenstown in Tasmania to the nearby mine at Mt Lyell, before continuing to Hobart and the east coast. I took the shot primarily because it shows at close hand how smelter fumes over the past century have cleared the vegetation, which would once have been lush, while the devastation has been made complete by heavy rainfall removing the soil from the bare earth. Happy Fence Friday!
