this thread has no point now lol
You ever seen a "backburn" put in? flame height should be kept below 1.5m (not the scorch height), thats usually enough for native plants.
if you burn to much, it changes the vegetation you usually only conduct a HR (hazard reduction) around towns...
It will burn if you get it hot enough, but you`d find that those small pockets of temperate rainforest are ony there becasue it hasnt burnt there with past fires, which would make it unlikely it would burn there in the future.
"the pattern of fire spread often reveals a predictable pedestrian rate of 16–20 km/h for the maximum fire speed."
Thats your Sclerophyll forest. As the wind oscillates, its change in direction progressively picks up the flames on the flank, giving the appearance of a wave of flame actively...
hopfully we will learn somthing from it. i think there is a thin line before it creates mass panic though, but we do need somthing better
lol bogans, oh dear
im srry and take that back, it was a freak of nature. im guessing that the fire didnt travel down any existing fire cooradors, and with the front jumpin somthing like 7km in 14min (correct me if im wrong) thats movin
im on the pre-list to go down

"At the same time that a mining industry desperate for the expertise of geologists has allowed some graduates to push their starting salaries beyond $100,000, university geology departments are cutting staff and subjects or closing altogether."
