By the time the curtain falls, they will all have a new understanding of the world beyond the stage.

Zu intensiv empfindet er das Freiheitsgefühl auf der Straße, zu sehr beeindruckt ihn die atemberaubende Natur, zu angenehm ist die Kumpelhaftigkeit der gastfreundlichen Australier.

The photographs stop you in your tracks. Five children and their grandmother sheltering under an old wooden jetty as the air around them burns a fierce orange. Seen around the world, these were the images from the heart of the inferno that showed the Tasmanian township of Dunalley fighting for survival. On the morning of 4 January 2013, the people of Dunalley had watched with caution as a bush fire burned slowly on top of the hill. It was not an unusual occurrence - fires are a part of Australian life - and Dunalley had never been troubled before.
