Bushfires have always been a reality in Australia, but never recorded on this scale with such widespread damage. It’s estimated that more than 60,000 sq km have been scorched in New South Wales and Victoria alone. Days of smoke have shrouded Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. And after the fires, flooding at the weekend in NSW and parts of Queensland left thousands without power and dozens of schools closed on Monday.

While the country is still grappling with the economic reality and human devastation caused by the fires, it’s easy to think the worst of this disaster is over.

By 2050, he said, Indonesia will be world's fourth largest economy, with the third largest middle class and a GDP of $US10.5trillion ($15.6 trillion).

They have shaped our continent for thousands of years — and there are lessons in history to help us face the risks of the future. "We are the fire continent of the globe, so it's not surprising that we are so concerned about the future of fire as we go into hotter times," says Tom Griffiths, an Emeritus Professor of history at ANU. "The answers are always going to be local, ecological and historical. " A landscape shaped by fire Since the old Gondwana supercontinent broke up and Australia wandered north, it has increasingly been a continent informed by fire. It has the right conditions for fire — wet enough for things to grow, dry enough for them to burn.
