Winter in Victoria

Hi everybody, it's Suzy!

I am enjoying winter in Victoria. Are you hot in Japan in summer?
Two weeks ago I went to visit Marysville. It was a small town near Melbourne.
Marysville burned in the bush fires in February this year.
Maybe you read about the terrible fires here in the Aussie summer?
Marysville burned and now there is no town.

My family and I drove to the mountains near Marysville.
We saw the white winter snow and the black burnt trees.
It was amazing. I have a photo for you to see.
It is a sad photo, but the next photo is happy.
The new leaves have started to grow on the trees.
Life is beginning again! I think the photo is beautiful and hopeful.
In spring the tress will grow and become strong again.

I hope you like the photos.
I hope this year brings new things for you all.

Cheers!
