The new life has offered a sense of hope in an otherwise emotional time for many coping with the impacts of the fires. The images of the vegetation regrowth were captured on the New South Wales Central Coast by local photographer Mary Voorwinde. The images were captured on an outing by two local photographers around the Kulnura area of the New South Wales Central Coast. One of those was Mary Voorwinde, who shared the images to her Facebook page 'Photography by Mary'.

She accompanied Terrigal Resident Murray Lowe on a visit to several private properties on the fringes of a state forest in Kulnura on January 6. Ms Voorwinde captioned her post with an emotional message describing the sense of hope she felt after seeing the new life. 'With all that is lost in nature, there is hope of life again.

Voorwinde described the fire grounds as 'eerie but beautiful' after seeing vegetation regrowth in the otherwise burnt-out area of Kulnura on the New South Wales Central Coast (pictured).

'After a quick trip out to Kulnura today and talking to some of the locals Lee and Mick, who faced the fierce fires before Christmas, it was a humbling experience to visit their property and hear their stories. 'They spoke of the brave fire fighters and emergency service personnel who helped them through some of the most scariest times of their lives.

'Stories of sounds so loud it was deafening, the intensity of heat and the shear power and speed of the fire just incomprehensible, lucky for them their house was saved, but only just,' she wrote.

The keen landscape photographer went out looking for a happy news story after seeing all the 'doom and gloom' in the media. Ms Voorwinde said it was truly a symbol of hope in among all the images of dead wildlife and burnt out homes. 'I wanted to show that nature was saying it's going to be okay.'

'It was eerie being there and then in amongst all this ash and black burnt trunks was all this rejuvenation. It gives you hope,' she said. The 'Three Mile' fire burnt 45,944 hectares outside Kulnara before being controlled by fire authorities.
