No longer just a ‘dry year’, 2019/2020 has brought an awareness to Australia and the rest of the world of what climate change is going to wreak upon our lives.
Historically, fire has always been present in the Australian landscape – sometimes under human control , sometimes naturally produced . What will be the impact in the future?.
