Description: No other continent on earth is as prone to bushfires, over such a large area, as Australia. Despite repeated disasters, we seem to be no better at surviving bushfires today than we were when fires burnt through the first European settlements? This is a personal journey of discovery that attempts to answer some of these questions.
