Areas prone to bushfire in Australia include regions with vast dry vegetation, such as the southeastern states of Victoria and New South Wales, as well as parts of Queensland and South Australia. The Australian bush, characterized by eucalyptus forests and grasslands, is particularly vulnerable, especially during the hot, dry summer months. Urban interfaces, where cities meet bushland, also face significant risk due to increased human activity and infrastructure. Climate change has further exacerbated these risks, leading to more frequent and intense bushfire seasons.

Are certain areas in the world more likely to have a bushfire than others?
Yes. Places which are subject to long, hot, dry spells are more bushfire prone, particularly when there is an absence of humidity to balance the climate. Bushfires also need fuel, so areas where there is plenty of fuel by way of dry vegetation tend to be more prone. This is why southern Australia has the highest rate of bushfires.

No. Rockhampton itself has not yet been struck by a major bushfire.

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.
