Update from ABC

A year on from bushfires in Tasmania's Wilderness World Heritage Area (WHA), some areas are showing signs of recovery but others are not.

Yeah. I was up around Lake McKenzie/Blue Peaks in November. The damage is heartbreaking, but I was surprised at the little pockets of survival and signs of re-greening. Too many pines lost, however. :(
