Bushfires involve all of the spatial dimensions, in that they can move in all directions, including vertically. Firefighters must be ready and have a plan of escape at all times.
Bushfires can occur virtually anywhere in Australia. As well as bushland, woodlands and forests such as pine plantations, bushfires can occur in grasslands, alpine areas, scrubby deserts and even within bushland refuges in the city. The only place they cannot occur is in the sandy desert or gibber desert.
Australia does not have wildfires; it has bushfires.Victoria is most commonly the scene of major bushfires, but bushfires occurred in all the mainland states in the summer of 2009-2010.
There have been several instances of massive bushfires in Victoria. Most Victorian bushfires occur in the Dandenong Ranges which lie to the north and northwest of Melbourne, but they have also been known to occur in western Victoria and near regional centres such as Bendigo. In the devastating 'Black Saturday' bushfires in 2009, various towns affected included (among others) Beechworth, Kinglake, Marysville, Narbethong, Murrindindi, Horsham (western Victoria) and Bendigo.
Australian wildfires, known as bushfires, can occur in the dense bushland of the national parks around Sydney and the Blue Mountains. This is a common area for bushfires. There have been many times when smoke haze from surrounding bushfires has descended on Sydney, remaining for several weeks.
It is impossible to determine how many bushfires there have been in Australia. Bushfires, in varying degrees of severity, occur almost daily in different localities during the warmer months, beginning around late August in parts of Queensland. They reach their peak during mid-summer, with perhaps hundreds occurring through Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia on a daily basis. Many of these are small spot-fires which are easily extinguished. Major flare-ups occur less often.

Bushfires can occur anywhere in Queensland. Severe bushfires are most common around the Queensland Central Coast, particularly in the Rockhampton region, heading west to Mount Morgan. However, smaller bushfires are also common anywhere along the eastern seaboard where the Great Dividing Range is covered with dense bushland.
