Its a bloody tragedy that could have been avoided if controlled burning was carried out in Autumn after the first rains instead of a bunch of arsehole government greeny departments telling country people that controlled burning should be done coming into summer and then cancelling it because it is to dry.
The regrowth bush is rubbish bush that is not of any use either for man or beast.
Iff you think I am pissed off you are right.
I was born in the High Country at Dargo and these fires are cutting me to the bone!!!!!!!!!!!
The area burnt is some of the best sambar country in the world.
I am planning on returning to the high country to live, one day before I get to old to enjoy it or government incompetence destroys it ...........
