The remains of a forest destroyed by bushfires is seen near the town of Kinglake, 55km (34 miles) northeast of Melbourne February 8, 2009. Australian bushfires have killed 76 people and burnt hundreds of homes in the worst fire disaster in three decades, as a heatwave and strong winds sent sheets of flame racing through towns and farmland near Melbourne.
