I'm with Nessie. Concrete doesn't burn. Living in a paved and cleared human habitat is a good way to avoid bushfire.
I saw the comments of a man who lost his home on "Black Saturday". He said he had 91 acres of cleared land with only one tree but his home still burned because of the native vegetation around the property. Where exactly is the forest with its complex ecosystem going to be allowed to be? We've taken so much already. Even Victoria's native grassland is all but gone and the last remnants are about to be taken over by suburbs.
Is there nobody else who notices the absence of a "dawn chorus"? The sharp decline in bird populations. Even the decrease in road kills -- much as that looks, on the surface, a positive.
Of course if we get rid of all the wildlife -- plants and animals they won't burn will they? That's what people tell me. Silly me to not see that. We will still have humans and their chosen animals and plants.
All my thoughts, Nessie.
