Australian bushfires
Down-under wildland blazes
Australian bushfires are large, uncontrolled wildfires that burn through the scrubland and forests of Australia, typically during the dry summer months.
The term encompasses both natural seasonal fires and catastrophic fire events that destroy homes, wildlife, and vast stretches of land: The 2019-2020 Australian bushfires killed over a billion animals.
Bushfire season has become a recurring national crisis tied to drought and climate conditions.
