"Souvenir-hunters who began to pillage burnt homes were warned off by angry owners of the ruins."
The Herald

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.
