Are certain areas in the world more likely to have a bushfire than others?
Yes. Places which are subject to long, hot, dry spells are more bushfire prone, particularly when there is an absence of humidity to balance the climate. Bushfires also need fuel, so areas where there is plenty of fuel by way of dry vegetation tend to be more prone. This is why southern Australia has the highest rate of bushfires.

Has Rockhampton ever been struck by a major Bushfire?
No. Rockhampton itself has not yet been struck by a major bushfire. However, fairly severe bushfires have hit west of Rockhampton, around the Mount Morgan region in September 2009, and this area seems more prone to fires than other areas, as it is so dry, and there is plenty of vegetation. See the related link for a map of the more bushfire-prone areas around Rockhampton. Generally, Queensland does not seem to experience severe bushfires like those in Victoria. Humidity is higher, the terrain is different, and vegetation is not as thick.
