Sydney Warning or Danger Tips by iandsmith

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.
