Certainly the countryside looks good then, but that was months ago. I bet pounds to peanuts that it doesn't look green like that now. So far I believe Gundagai is bushfire free, but the fire season really has not officially commenced..........so I would think the residents of this Riverina area are in a state of worry. Great to read that 4 bloody arsonists have been caught..........I hope that they are locked up for a very long time with very unpleasant, depraved cell "buddies" !!! Colin
Always arsonists about unfortunately, they have no idea what damage they do - the only get a thrill to see fire.. Probably a bit brownish there at the moment..
Actually having carefully studied your photos of this region of NSW, it seems that this council area has it's head screwed on. They have cleared a lot of the trees off the land, so open clear spaces which do not 'favour" bushfires. Clearly seen on the first 4 photos. Of course those looney greenies probably screamed blue bloody murder when it was done, but I reckon that fires of the sort that are raging up the eastern seaboard would not eventuate in the Gundagai area. Good on the rural shire for their foresight and stuff the city greenies! Colin
I say good on the Shire too. Pity other Shires don't take a leaf out of Gundagai's book. The aboriginals up north always have small fires going in their bush each winter to burn the undergrowth.
A beautiful area. I hope it is not threatened by the current rash of fires.
ReplyDeleteFar as I know all is well in that area..
DeleteIt has the best caravan park with your van under cover and ensuite showers and toilets.
ReplyDeleteYes it does Andrew, we stayed there also had the van and vehicle weighted there..new managers.
