The Bush fires ....and floods

Current NASA map of the fires

It's a very misleading picture from what i have read online, no way in hell are the fires to that extent.

I think it is a collection of all fires reported and magnified including hazard reduction over a span of time.(more a heat glow map)

It's the collation of the fires since spring trying to relate it to the US TV audience

R

exactly! Now they are going to spend 100 times more on a clean up!
They are happy to spend money on the capital cities but all other areas can look after themselves!

Incompetence Indeed !!!

Ken Arthurson - 'The Godfather' of Manly should run our Country !!!

Does anyone remember the big fires at Ingleside and Terry hills in the early 80's?
There were hundreds of farm animals evacuated to Nth Narrabeen beach, quite a sight for a young bloke.

Unfortunately as much as I love the idea, Arko is too much of a gentleman to
get down and dirty in Australian politics. If he did go into politics though, I think he’d make a perfect Governor-General.

Feel sorry for Dave ...

Not only did he lose his home but he has to wear that t-shirt poor bloke.

NSW fires: Locals return to devastated Cobargo

Kyle Moser and David Wilson have not let the full weight of losing their home in the historic, welcoming village of Cobargo on the NSW South Coast sink in yet.

We crunched the numbers on bushfires and arson — the results might surprise you

Australia's massive blazes have sparked big headlines about arsonists, but they're responsible for about 1 per cent of the total land burned in NSW — and it's a similar story in other states.

www.abc.net.au

"While firebugs remain a legitimate and serious threat, they're responsible for about 1 per cent of the more than 5.2 million hectares that have been burned in NSW this season.

It's a similar story in other states."
@Mark from Brisbane (I think you posted something a while back about arsonists starting most of the fires.) Apparently most in this current fire season have been started by dry lightning storms

Don’t confuse Mark with facts that aren’t on SkyNews or Murdochville ;-)
