I took was traveling last year in NSW and went out to Iluka world heritage rain forest. The whole drive in from A1 was burnt. One of the most startling things I remember from that trip was seeing a melted Koala crossing sign. It looks like the trees recover quickly but the loss of wildlife is tragic.
2020-12-16 16:04:28 +0000 UTCThe burnt forests look a lot like south east Australia after the fires we had here at the start of this year ( depressing). But we’ve had plenty of rain since and the forest is coming back. But the more depressing thing is the fires were so intense that not many animals would have survived and those that did had nothing to eat for months. So while the forests are coming back they’re fairly empty of animal life. Hopefully they’ll migrant back in from the unburnt areas but that’s going to take years and years given the extent of the fires.
