Tasmania’s Snowy Range during a polar blast in November 2019

Tasmania was lucky this year. Bushfires started in October, then a polar blast swept over the island and it rained for more than a week.

The picture above is Tasmania’s Snowy Range, taken during the middle of the wet, cold and windy weather. You need to see this pic on a big screen.

Sadly, the cold, wet weather did not make it as far north as NSW, which was tinder dry and on fire.

Given that the NSW/SEQ fires will likely burn all summer, it is an unfolding catastrophe regardless. Lives and homes have already been lost.
