[QUOTE="Swinging & digging, post: 530088, member: 2764"] When you count individual animals, Kangaroos, Wombats, etc, Birds & reptiles the numbers will be huge. When large tracts of forests burn wildlife has little chance of escape. I recall driving through an area near Omeo after a large fire in 2003, 6 weeks on and the place was like a nuclear war zone. I had driven through the area 12 years prior and it was pristine. After the fire it was blackened and silent, no birds, not a single green leaf in site, the experience has haunted me for years, i was only just talking with the person i was with on that day about it. The same area has a active fire front today ]:D 8.( :o It can take years for wildlife to return from surrounding unburnt areas and the bush to grow back. [/QUOTE]
