1983 Melbourne Dust Storm, Ash Wednesday Bush Fire, ending with the photos I took with a Canon SLR camera from the 1983 Bush Fire Appeal game The Sun All-Stars Vs Carlton and Collingwood Vs Footscray at VFL Park which was 39 years ago today. I was only 15 years old and didn’t have the foggiest how to use a SLR camera, so happy a few came out sharply.👍 Cheers Gezza1967 (YouTube channel) Click link to view each photo properly on the VFL AFL 20th century videos, photos, memories footy page. https:
