Yarloop Workshops - Western Australia
A short tribute to the people of Yarloop and to the volunteers who put so much time and effort into the old rail workshops. From everything we know right now, the workshops and at least 95 houses in town were destroyed in the bushfires on the 7th and 8th of January 2016.
We hope the town rebuilds and we know that Australia will get behind those who have lost their homes and possessions. Sadly the these historic workshops are irreplaceable.

Yarloop Bushfire 2016
Here is a little video I have created of the bushfire that devastated our home town, Yarloop.
I managed to get some photos and videos on my visit home on Monday. I was planning to take many more this weekend on my return, however due to the new restrictions in place,(permits etc.) this is what I have come up with.
I apologise in advance for not being able to get videos of all streets and structures for you all to see.
Whilst I have your attention, I want to thank the fire fighters from the bottom of my heart. You are all so brave and I have nothing but the outmost respect for each and every one of you.
Thank You & I hope you enjoy the video. xo

Fix You (Cover) for the Waroona Fires in Western Australia
Fix You (Cover) - by Bec Burns and Riley Symington, from the Mandurah State Emergency Services in Western Australia.
Riley and I have done a cover of Fix You by Coldplay, with photos from the Waroona/Yarloop fire that started on the 6th of January 2016 in the South West of Western Australia and burnt over 70,000 hectares. Thank you to all the firefighters and all other personnel including DFES and DPAW members, SES members, helitacs, water bombers, machinery operators and all the welfare people who helped supply food and water. You have worked tirelessly for the past 17 days to contain, control and put out this fire and I'm sure that it is greatly appreciated by the South West area for all your willpower and endurance. Thank you to all the public who have donated food, water and clothing for the residents who had to evacuate and for all the money that you have raised to help rebuild the communities.
We spent several hours recording and editing this song/video so please take the spare few minutes that you have to watch this video as it will be appreciated very much :)
If you would like to help those affected by the South West fires, you can donate to the Lord Mayor's Distress Relief Fund.
Thank you for listening and please share this video around. ❤️. #waroonafire #yarloop
The Yarloop Fire: The End of an Inconvenient Community.
The fire destroyed much of the small Western Australian town, claiming two lives, about 180 homes and the heritage-listed workshops and steam engine museum in early January this year.
Absolute heartbreak at Yarloop
Please watch in HD
Myself and a friend Johno Johnston who lost everything in these terrible fires went back to his hometown of Yarloop to document this terrible tragedy that not only destroyed most of this historic town but also took the lives of 2 lovely men. RIP to them.
I hope to go back in a few years to document how the town has pulled through this tragedy . Already the true Aussie spirit is showing with everyone coming together to donate money, gifts, toys and hard work to help everyone in need.
Yarloop will be back!

YARLOOP STEAM WORKSHOP TRIBUTE - Fond memories
Fond memories of recent visits to Yarloop from Perth - I have created this video mainly for historical reasons and so that people who had never visited the place could get a taste of what it was like. Some of the pics , esp of the pub, may be amongst the last ever taken.
We first visited the Steam Workshop on the 10th Oct 2015. The family loved it ; a pleasant surprise. I was keen to return for the steam day which we did on Nov 1st 2015 with some mates on the bikes.
I really feel for the people of this town who are good , honest and friendly West Australian country folk. People of Perth - support your country towns by getting out and spending a day, plus a few dollars, at places like this. Places like Yarloop need to exist and they need to be able to engage their local youth - and the people in the city can help do this by visiting more often.
To the people of Yarloop - stay strong.
Yarloop is destroyed
L'incendio ha devastato completamente Yarloop, ed altri piccoli paesi vicini, tra i quali Waroona, Hamel, Preston beach molto meno colpiti ma troppe case sono comunque andate distrutte. Ora l'incendio e' a 5 Km da noi e sembra che si stia dirigendo al nord . Tanto fumo e Harvey completamente abbandonata, tutti gli abitanti hanno lasciato le loro case.
