Pillaging
14 January 1939
Residents and firefighters were amazed by streams of cars loaded with city sightseers who invaded the nearer fire districts this afternoon. Souvenir-hunters who began to pillage burnt homes in the Ringwood, Warrandyte and Kangaroo Grounds areas were warned off by angry owners of the ruins. [H, 14/1/39] |
