The bushfire season obviously goes through summer, November through February, and the worst time is usually Christmas/New Year. In drought conditions, which is a regular occurence, the danger period is much longer.
This is a time of extreme danger, and not only in the bush. The Blue Mountains are often hit and, because Sydney has many natural bush parks - and the oil in our ubiquitous eucalypt trees is highly flammable - raging fires can come right into the suburbs. Obey the warning signs, do not drop cigarette ends, do not light fires if a fire ban has been declared.
See my Wollongong page for what happens in one of our bushfires...
