@melissadoyle7 : It’s ten years since the black Saturday bushfires swept through parts of Victoria. 180 people lost their lives. My heart still breaks for those who died, for everyone who lost someone they loved and the people who will forever live with the trauma. Covering that event deeply affected me, as a human and a journalist. I saw horror, grief, courage and resilience. I saw the rest of Australia rally to raise nearly $400 M to help. I witnessed food, clothing & essential supplies arrive by the truckload. But above all I saw how strong people can be - to rebuild their lives and homes, but never forget what happened. I’ve been back over the years to watch the Whittlesea Eagles play. Watching the ground revert from an emergency staging post and triage centre to a footy field again reflected the community’s regrowth. From those first shoots of new grass, to the team winning the premiership that year. Their premiership medal still hangs proudly above my desk. A forever reminder of how incredibly strong Australians are. The incredible photo is by @alexcoppel @heraldsunphoto #blacksaturday
