DEASKTOP 1761 - SUMMER BUSHFIRE

In the heat of Summer, when the temperatures in the outback hit the red, and when even during the night the warmth in the air will not abate, it's then the danger of bushfires is very high. Bushfires in Australia are a very common occurrence and especially so during the hot/dry months. Large tracts of bush will burn, often with dire consequences in terms of lost flora and fauna, and sometimes even loss of life and property for the bush dwellers.

One consolation is that the Australian flora has adapted and most plants and trees will regenerate after a bushfire. In fact, some native species of plants produce seeds that will only germinate after they have experienced the intense heat of a bushfire.
