Every photo Rex Newton had of his late wife Peta is now gone, lost to the ferocious Bunyip fire that razed his entire property.

The Bunyip North home he built 38 years ago is gone. There is nothing left of the lush, green garden that he was once told he wouldn't have a hope in hell of growing in the south-east Victorian climate.

And the photos he had of his wife, Peta, they're gone too. She died 25 years ago after being hit by a car as she left the front gate of their Tonimbuk Road property. Mr Newton saw it all happen.Peta Newton was horse mad and leaving them behind while fleeing the fire would have been a nightmare for her.

"I need to keep smiling. I think about the people who have [been in their homes] for 10 years, 20 years – their whole lives are in these houses." "It's a good thing and a bad thing that we have all this information, sometimes it is too much," Ms Langdon said, while her husband was able, in an instant, to show how the wind was sweeping across the region.
