The fire on Beacroft Peninsula was caused by a backburn operation that quickly went out of control yesterday and provided holiday makers and locals alike with a spectacular light show last night. The fire at one stage was heading straight for the historic Point Perpendicular Lighthouse. Backburning by the Bushfire Brigades created a barrier and the threat was averted.
I was up very early this morning and looked for another vantage point to shoot the fire. To say the vision was amazing is an understatement. |

Pre dawn long exposure, The headland was shrouded in smoke which was being blown out the sea. |
|
The sun was still just below the horizon when I shot this picture. The fire was burning right to the edge of the cliff. |

Wide view showing the wide spread fire front. The light was just spectacular. The sun was just above the horizon but subdued by the smoke. Point Perpendicular stood out as a large dark mass compared to everthing around it. Quite amazing to see. |
