Its a burn off gone wrong by the sounds of it.....mind you fire's up that way are now better controlled due to DEH doing so much burning off in the last 6 months....

I heard they 'over achieved' by about 2000ha.

Well we couldn't have a fire season pass by without at least one fire in the park could we.

What a great thing!

The better the burn now, the less for next years fire season.

GREAT to see national sparks burning again and with some vigour!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to control it.
