yep, it a human centric world. i am glad i am not an animal.

When i was young, a teen, I thought one day that you may have to go to a rich coutnry to see Africa's wild animals.

it will be interesting to see what is washup of this fire season on our own unqique Australian animals and flora.

Can we stop with this ‘national parks are locked up’ crap. They are not.

Scroll down to the map and zoom into Gippsland to see the extensive planned burn program for 2018-21.

Then look at the Otways and see how much of it was earmarked for fuel reduction.

The recent fires in Gippsland swept through previously treated areas. The reduction burns will slow or stop small or medium blazes, not the ones we have just seen.

The fuel reduction in this state over the last 5 years has outstripped anything in the State’s history.

So stop making stuff up.

Dear thinkabit,

At 350,000 hectares the Gospher Mountian fire was the largest forest fire in Australian history, and it went on to grow even further to 512,000 hectares.

That is well over 35% bigger than the previous record.

"By 15 December, the Gospers Mountain fire had grown to 350,000 hectares (860,000 acres), making it the biggest forest fire in Australian history. As of 27 December, the Gospers Mountain fire had burnt over 500,000 hectares (1,200,000 acres); and, after burning approximately 512,000 hectares (1,270,000 acres) across the Lithgow, Hawkesbury and Central Coast local government areas, the NSW Rural Fire Service reported the fire as contained on 12 January 2020, stating that the fire was caused by a lightning strike on 26 October."

Simply not worth the effort to comment, like much of the stuff this author writes.

But thankfully this is a free speech zone, so thank you (seriously) for exposing us your thoughts.
