After the fires life returns to Australia

[Catherine]

I think these are the worst fires that have ever been seen in Australia or anywhere else.
You are right, there could still be hot spots. Certainly some areas have suffered worse losses than others. I am just relieved to see some life come back. Any growth at all is something to be thankful for. If some of the mature trees can send out shoots  the forests would be farther ahead than if they had to start from seed. This is the biggest regrowth we have ever witnessed so we don't really know how it will work out. We just have to watch and hope things grow.
