Hi Jurta, thanks for creating this article. I was saddened to see pictures of the most recent fire, I have fond memories of holidaying in the area. Review follows: article created 3 March and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources (the Mark Davis Photography site is probably not the best to use but I see it is only cited in conjunction with other more reliable sources); hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; image is freely licensed and appropriate; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:59, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
