DUNALLEY'S afternoon sky turned black.
Moments later, Tony Disipio's personal "Camelot" was a paradise lost.
The landscape gardener lost his home and most of his possessions when a bushfire tore through the Tasman Peninsula on Friday, leaving most of the buildings in Dunalley in ruins.
Disipio barely escaped with his life.
"When the plume came across, the sky just went black ... it was like an eclipse," he told AAP at a refuge centre in Hobart on Monday.
"My two neighbours and I had agreed to stay together to defend our places, but I look up and I saw them leaving in their utes.
"There were so many spot fires, I just couldn't stay."
When it was safe to return that evening, Disipio said everything was gone.
"It was like a war zone. Power poles on the ground, houses still on fire."
He was still waiting to hear about the fate of one of his neighbours on Monday afternoon.
Disipio said he wasn't sure if he would be able to rebuild in the town he had called home for the past 25 years.
"That's a really tough question," he said.
"It was such a beautiful place. It was my paradise, man, just like Camelot."
