Did everyone forget how Australia was entirely on fire a few years back?
On one of the commercial news channels the other morning, some yank talking head they had on for whatever reason said "I'm not sure how familiar you are in Australia with wild fires" as part of the introduction...
The fires mostly missed the major cities. Although dealing with hazardous levels of smoke for much of that period is not nothing.
Canberra doesn’t count because there are only Politicians there.
Half of it burned in 2003 anyways. And unfortunatly parliamentary triangle doesnt have any water restrictions during droughts so its not dry.
