WE had two 30C days here over the weekend and I did smell fires both days. The bushfire season starts October 1 but there have been plenty of warnings it will start early and be severe.

These photos were taken a short walk from here and are the site of a recent National Parks and Wildlife Service hazard reduction burn. On one side of the path was lush fern and bracken undergrowth, grass trees, flowering banksias and native heath land plants. On the other, burned grasstrees with their resilient green spikes, charred banksias, and if you looked carefully, the unfurling tips of recovering cycads.
