After the fire north-east of Perth has been burning all week, destroying 86 properties in its path, a cooler change has brought slight a reprieve for firefighters and anxious residents and with it, a chance to assess the damage.
The blaze has razed almost 11,000 hectares of bushland in the picturesque Perth Hills area, popular with folk seeking a tree-change.
A total of 86 homes have been lost in the blaze.
