In 2009, Victoria experienced some of the countries most destructive bushfires in history. 173 people died in the Black Saturday bushfires and 414 were injured. By October, the forest was sprouting again with new growth and the blackened bark gave way to fresh new trees. The result is beauty missed the harsh reality of life in the Australian climate.
My name is Tracey Shelton. I have been working in the Middle East covering war and humanitarian crises since 2010. This blog is about how life continues in the middle of chaos, and the struggles and rewards of life as a conflict reporter.

Welcome to my Blog
Welcome to my new blog.
I have been planing to start a blog for many years but never had the time. Unfortunately, now that I'm largely working out of Australia, I have the time but not as many interesting stories to post. But I do have some things coming up that will hopefully interest you.
Thanks for reading and hopefully following.
Cheers,
Tracey
