Bush Fires: A pall in the sky
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • There's nothing quite like a raging bushfire. You can have ample warning and still it can overrun you.
    When driven by a strong westerly wind that skips trees and lights gaseous fireballs created by oil evapourating from the eucalypts, it is a frightening thing to behold.
    Everything is scorched, native fauna the most pitiful sight as koalas and kangaroos are burnt, unable to escape the fury.
    As for the flora, pics 2 and 5 clearly illustrate what's left after this fire through the Central Coast, just north of Sydney though its pall cast a shadow over Sydney's northern suburbs.
    The moral is, don't throw cigarettes out of the car window, as I have seen some thoughtless people do on occasions, or even contemplate lighting anything, even a seemingly protected back yard barbecue. As evidenced here, the price is too high to pay.

     Good tips, Ian. All that is missing is the "Danny Deckchair" ride. Wonder what the fee would be for that? Mart
