Black Saturday at Steels Creek

The Black Saturday bushfires killed 173 peoplewreaking a greater human toll than any other fire in Australia's history. Ten of those victims died in Steels Creek, a small community on Melbourne's outskirts. It was a beautiful place, which its residents had long treasured and loved. By the evening of February 7, 2009, it felt like a battlefield. Prize-winning historian Peter Stanley tells the dramatic stories of this small piece of country on that one terrifying eveningof epic fights to save houses, of escapes, and of deaths. He also tells the tale of a communityof people's attachments to the valley and to each otherand how, over the weeks and years that followed, they lived with the aftermath of the fire. The most detailed account of any one community to emerge from the fire, Black Saturday at Steels Creek shows what Black Saturday means not only for Steels Creek but also for Australia as a whole.
