Bushfire has been part of the Australian landscape for millions of years but while we consider it a threat, some of our flora and fauna depend upon it.
The Australian term for a wildfire is bushfire.
the Australian bushfire harvir knows that
because it is a bushfire
The first bushfire on Ash Wednesday, February 16, 1983, started in the small town of Beechworth, located in northeastern Victoria, Australia. This devastating fire, fueled by extreme weather conditions, quickly spread and contributed to one of the worst bushfire disasters in Australian history, resulting in significant loss of life and property.
The Australian government's expenditure on bushfire management varies significantly each year, influenced by the severity and frequency of bushfire events. In major years, such as during the catastrophic 2019-2020 bushfire season, costs soared to billions of dollars, encompassing firefighting efforts, recovery, and rebuilding. On average, annual spending can range from hundreds of millions to several billion dollars, depending on the extent of the bushfires and associated recovery needs.

Bushfire CRC was created in 2003.
Chatsbury bushfire happened in 1965.
The intensity of a bushfire is primarily determined by fuel availability, weather conditions, and topography. Fuel availability refers to the amount and type of vegetation present, which can influence how quickly and fiercely a fire spreads. Weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind speed, can exacerbate or mitigate fire behavior. Additionally, topographical features like slope and landscape orientation can affect how a fire moves, with steeper slopes often facilitating faster fire spread.
It depends on what, exactly, is meant by the question. No animal that is caught in a bushfire can survive it. However, there are some Australian animals that can burrow sufficiently deep enough to stay safe. The short-beaked echidna, for example, can burrow up to a metre deep and survive in areas of low oxygen until a bushfire has passed. bilbies and burrowing bettongs have been known to survive bushfires as well. Platypuses dig burrows deep in riverbanks where they will shelter during bushfires: they do not stay in the water.
Small plants rarely survive a bushfire.
