Paperback. Every so often, Cameron would stop the patrol car and wind down the window.There was absolute silence except for the ringing in his ears.It was like the end of the world.As millions of Victorians were getting ready for bed on 7 February 2009, thankful their state had survived the hottest day on record, they had little knowledge of what was unfolding just an hour's drive north of Melbourne on the Great Dividing Range.In Kinglake, no dogs barked. There were no sounds of traffic. No insects, no birds. No children. Everything was gone. The houses, the sheds, the people. There was only before, and after, Black Saturday.The fires had moved with such speed and ferocity, destroying critical infrastructure and advancing faster than people could run or drive, that emergency services couldn't keep up - or reach all the threatened areas in time. The community of Kinglake was on its own.As gale-force winds and record temperatures arrived like a freight train, unleashing a firestorm that claimed 173 lives and erased the town in minutes, Senior Constable Cameron Caine was one of only two local police officers on duty.Amidst the ash and silence, his wife Laura was with tradie Ross Buchanan when he learned that two of his children, Neeve and Mackenzie, were in a house where five people had perished. It was supposed to be the safest house in one of the safest streets.When the Smoke Clears captures the enduring strength of the Kinglake community before, during and after the devastation of Black Saturday. With deep empathy and respect, Rick Wall honours the courage and vulnerability of the Caine and Buchanan families in the face of unimaginable loss.With unprecedented weather occurrences becoming ever more common, When the Smoke Clears reminds us of the long-lasting impact of these ferocious events, asks how we might respond to both disaster and recovery - and stand with survivors as they walk out of the fireball. In Kinglake, no dogs barked. There was no traffic, no birds. No children. Everything was gone. There was only before and after 7 February 2009 - Black Saturday. This item is printed on demand.

As millions of Victorians were getting ready for bed on 7 May 2009, thankful their state had survived the hottest day on record, they had little knowledge of what was unfolding just an hour’s drive north of Melbourne on the Great Dividing Range.
In Kinglake, no dogs barked. There were no sounds of traffic. No insects, no birds. No children. Everything was gone. The houses, the sheds, the people. There was only before, and after, Black Saturday.
The fires had moved with such speed and ferocity, destroying critical infrastructure and advancing faster than people could run or drive, that emergency services couldn’t keep up – or reach all the threatened areas in time. The community of Kingslake was on its own.
As gale-force winds and record temperatures arrived like a freight train, unleashing a firestorm that claimed 173 lives and erased the town in minutes, Senior Constable Cameron Caine was one of only two local police officers on duty.
Amidst the ash and silence, his wife Laura was with tradie Ross Buchanan when he learned that two of his children, Neeve and Mackenzie, were in a house where five people had perished. It was supposed to be the safest house in one of the safest streets.
When the Smoke Clears captures the enduring strength of the Kinglake community before, during and after the devastation of Black Saturday. With deep empathy and respect, Rick Wall honours the courage and vulnerability of the Caine and Buchanan families in the face of unimaginable loss.
In a country facing a climate crisis with unprecedented weather events becoming ever more common, When the smoke clears reminds us of the long-lasting impact of these ferocious events, asks how we might respond to both disaster and recovery, and stand with survivors as they walk out of the fireball.

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
