The bushfires of 2019/20 devastated many people's lives, including mine. 12 months on and things are greener but there's still a long way to go. Very few mammals and reptiles but lots of insects and birds. #nswfires#recovery#PTSD#abc730#Australia#conservation
Green bursts of life returning to forests burnt out in early November (Forster, NSW Mid North Coast).
A long, long way to go, and sadly not all forests will recover like this. Still, an encouraging and hopeful start. #AustraliaFires#NSWFires
Two years ago today this hit my village. This was taken by the local RFS Captain after they had been pulled out. My place is on the right. Nothing has ever been the same. #nswfires#bushfires#bushfires2019#australianbushfires
During the devastating 2019-20 bush fire season, the Rainbow Flat brigade on the mid-north coast lost their brigade station, while out helping protecting their community. This weekend the brigade has celebrated the opening of their newly built station. #nswrfs#nswfires
CLEAR RANGE FIRE: this blaze didnβt exist yesterday morning, now itβs charging. A spot fire from the big blaze in the ACT.
This is the scene right now near Bredbo
Recovery is a matter of perspective. Looking up in the forest on my property, itβs hard to believe it will ever recover but the understory is thriving, with dense vegetation, insects, birds, frogs and even some of the marsupials are back #biodiversity#nswfires#recovery#nature
As storms wash #bushfire debris downstream the emergency clean up has been massive. #bushfires#nswfires#nswfloods We need to clean up but we also need to understand the impacts. How can we ramp up the research? I think we need a rapid-response bushfire impact assessment fund.
People, I just went outside to check hoses again & turned one on to check pressure. Due to the heat, the connection to the tap came apart because the hose had got so hot & soft. If you're in The Lanyon Valley check your hoses, etc & repair if possible.

Three US firefighters were killed Thursday while battling the Australia wildfires. The C-130 Hercules they were operating went down. Our thoughts are with them, their families, and all those working to contain the ongoing fires.

Amazing to see so many Endangered Suttering #Frogs (Mixophyes balbus) last night in recently burnt forest in northern #NSW!
This species is a priority for study after fire as much of its range has been burnt, but I'm much more hopeful for this species now! #NSWfires
Haven't seen this in a long time...ππ₯This is a screenshot taken from the NSW RFS Fires Near Me website at 6:30 AM today. There are no active grass fires, bushfires or hot spots listed in the Eurobodalla, Snowy Monaro or Bega Valley. #nswfires
