How common are wildfires in Australia?
Bushfires, as they are properly called in Australia, are very common, particularly during the summer months. Parts of southern Australia, where the summers can be very hot and dry for extended periods of time, are particularly bushfire-prone. Bushfires occur throughout Australia, wherever the vegetation becomes dried out and easily ignited during heatwaves or drought. A common cause of bushfires is when tinder-dry vegetation is struck by lightning.There have been several significant bushfires that have caused great devastation and loss of life in Australia since European settlement. The Black Friday bushfires (1939), Ash Wednesday bushfires (1983), Canberra bushfires (2003) and Black Saturday bushfires (2009) have been among Australia's worst natural disasters.

Does Australia have the most bushfires in the world?

How do numbats die?
Numbats are most prone to being killed by non-native predators such as foxes and feral cats. As more of their habitat is cleared due to agriculture, there are fewer hiding places for numbats. Numbats are also vulnerable to bushfires. Bushfires are more likely to occur due to changed fire regimes resulting from European settlement. Bushfires destroy the numbats' habitat, including the logs in which it shelters. Numbats are not fast-moving creatures, and they cannot escape bushfires, which can move very quickly.

How many bushfires have there been in Victoria?
There have been too many bushfires to number. Despite being in the south, Victoria is one of Australia's hottest and driest states in Summer, and because there is so much dense bushland and sloping mountainsides (which bushfires quickly ascend), bushfires are particularly common in January and February.
