Last week there was an extensive grass fire locally and at least one house and many hectares of property were burnt. This gives you a small idea of the aftermath.
One can only hope that it wasn't an arsonist. Loss of property and land is always devastating. On a positive note, our gums are so resilient. Thankfully.
@gigiflower@onewing local news is reporting an incinerated bird on the wires - a local tells of a slasher spark. May not have been foul play this one :)
I have also seen this very often during my trip in Australia. Bush fires obviously belong to the "normal" ecological process. When houses burn down, this is catastrophic.
