The set used for Australian soap Home and Away has been destroyed in a bush fire.
The fire ripped through Jackaroo Ranch at Annangrove, in north-west Sydney, effectively wiping out the set, which has been used by the series for almost fifteen years.
"The original series started with the Fletcher house, and they had a caravan park attached, which was the whole purpose of coming to Summer Bay - to set up and run the (fictitious) caravan park," executive producer John Holmes told news.com.au.
"Apparently there is (now) nothing remaining of the caravan park, because the bush is all burnt. The house is a stone house, but (apparently) the roof had collapsed and parts of the wall and some of the verandah had all gone."
Ironically, the show was planning to feature a storyline where Summer Bay was hit by a bushfire, but the idea was scrapped. :eek:
