What is Australia's recent natural disaster?
As of October 2009, Australia's most recent natural disaster is the massive bushfires in the Rockhampton region.
What is the risk of a bushfire to hit Rockhampton?
Rockhampton can certainly be affected by bushfires. During Summer, Rockhampton is a "hot spot" of Queensland, temperature-wise and this, together with the long, dry winters, can result in very dry vegetation, increasing the fuel available for bushfires. In February 2009, the Rockhampton Regional Council released a statement that, in the wake of the devastating bushfires in Victoria, it may need to consider the increased risk of bushfires in the area and introduce regulations that would address the increased risks. 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 bushfire-prone areas around Rockhampton.
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.
