So here is what you need to know.
People arrived in Australia 60 to 70 thousand years ago. They changed the environment by burning areas and their land management practices. They did not selectively grow plants.
Much later Europeans arrived in Australia and they did not employ the same practices and also did not selectively develop new plant strains. This means that the fire load of materials builds up and when fires occur they are much larger than when the indigenous people managed the land.
This coupled with a warming climate has led to this.
Australia should be reducing gum trees from around urban areas and plant trees that resist fires.

Like the California Camp fires, these Austrailian fires are uncommon and seem to be deliberately set. The Camp fires were extremely questionable as to its destructive force.

Can I please have sources to provide? I posted this on FB and this was a top response I got back. Iv seen them before but they aren't easy to find via phone. Anything would be helpful from California, Amazon to this one.
