Terrifying hey... Can't believe he walked away from that. Certainly puts any argument against the halo to bed.

To be honest in these times of covid I would walk away from a hug with a stra ge man...
Watched it live last night, very scary and great testament to the safety systems implemented over the years, not so good on the multilevel split armco so I see that disappearing.

Blocked by F1 guys!
But I agree with you; motorsports make a significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. It is time for them to be wound up and put on the shelf.

Ahhhh...that is quite a fireball. He isn't going to be wiping his arse anytime soon. Did the car tear in half? Or is that the purpose of this halo you speak of?

Most of Fraser will be burnt to a crisp at this rate.

Wow, first I've heard of this fire, it's such a beautiful place so I hope it's not too ravaged.
No more material for bogged at Inskip for a while?

It’s a big shame, world heritage listed too. The fire was started from an illegal camp fire to make matters worse.
I keep well away from the place if possible during the peak holiday periods, it's just a hive of fuckwittery over the summer.
I am due up there in about 10 days....

Inept Land manager/fire services at work here, this fire has been burning since Oct 15. QPWS is useless, had a similar thing happen on Moreton Island some years ago. Let it burn for ages then decided to get serious once it gets big and the weather warms up, same thing this time.
Hit it hard early and we all go home sooner is the rationale in SE Australia. Not so in Qld unfortunately.

Kingfisher Bay Resort has closed down for 14 days and no visitors (only residents and workers) are currently allowed to travel to Fraser Is.
Pretty poor show I fell sorry for tourism operators as we just opened some borders.
Well done QPWS

Oh boy, enjoy the crowds.
They haven't had a lot of rain up there either. Pałaszczuk most likely doesn't want to spend money fighting the fires.

That's crazy to not throw everything at any fire particularly one on this amazing island!
By comparison the tiny fire that we had up the road on Sunday was smashed within 3 hours by a dozen units and two choppers.
I am not certain but can Fraser's ecosystem and bush recover? I've noticed from the fires last year the coastal shrubs don't tend to survive as well as a big gum so much of what has burnt will take a while to recover.

No homes under threat at one and lots at the other I'd wager.

Good on ya - gotta save that reputation

An Army chopper sparked a massive bushfire, but Defence didn't tell authorities where it was for 45 minutes
Emergency services lost a vital chance to quickly respond to a devastating bushfire south of Canberra, because the Army crew that accidentally started it did not immediately tell them where it was.

It's all regrowth, they logged the place up until the 1990's

Old Joh, cared as much about the environment as he did about preserving historic buildings in Brisbane. He was very keen to allow sand mining on Fraser to continue until the Federal gov cancelled the company's licence. But "Don't you worry about that then"

They only stopped sand mining on North Stradbroke island (east of Brisbane) just recently. Fun fact, that's where the famous Tracey Hannah worked by the way before her career as a DH racer took off, but back to Fraser Island talk, they deforested Fraser island since the mid 1800's, it's seen about 130 years of logging, there was also a shortage of coal during the world wars so they burnt timber instead.

Men charged over Fraser Island bushfire
Four men who allegedly started an illegal campfire that burned through almost half of the world heritage-listed Fraser Island in Queensland have been charged. Police arrested the four men in Maryborough on Monday, while a teenager will also be dealt with over the incident.
The men - aged in their 20s - face charges relating to the lighting of an unauthorised campfire that was not properly extinguished.
