Moruya, AUSTRALIA - Choking smoke from raging bushfires blocked Bec Winter’s path to safety but she put faith in her horse Charmer to find a way, eventually reaching refuge in a local pub in the coastal town of Moruya, Winter said on Saturday.
While her son and cousin drove to the beach, Winter mounted Charmer to ride to safety there. As the smoke thickened, disorienting Winter, it was the steed that found the path out to the beach, Winter said. Australia’s unprecedented bushfire season this year began earlier than usual and has burned more then 5 million hectares since September. So far 23 people are confirmed dead, as the country battens down for worsening fire conditions on Saturday.
“Riley’s new bike he got for Christmas, stolen. The house is totally ransacked. Absolutely destroyed.”
