The Morton Bushfire 2019-20

This was one of hundreds of extensive bushfires that ravaged the eastern side of Australia in the summer of 2019-20

It started over 100 kms south from where these images were taken and took about two months to reach the northern border of the Morton National Park near Bundanoon. Initially it was part of the Currowan Fire. The first gallery below has a number of landscape orientated photographs. 

The following gallery has portrait orientated images. They show several grass trees that seem to have escaped the worst of the fire.

Obvious signs of revegetation appear on the burnt but still living trunks. Hundreds of ant nests appeared after the fire. Heavy rain that put out the fires made much of the soil quite soft underfoot.
