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.
