That was a great read. I visited Kangaroo Island some months after the fire mentioned in the article, and the regrowth was something to behold. Vast sweeping hills of blackened tree trunks, all covered in winding regrowth in vivid greens, with flowering undergrowth spreading across the forest floor. The devastation was clear, but just as evident was that the ecosystem has the capability to withstand and thrive after a wildfire.
It was an incredible trip, and the locals were very excited to have tourists supporting the economy there. I can highly recommend it, especially for anyone with a lean towards exploring nature. The free flight raptor show was very cool, you get to see a whole bunch of unique Australian birds in a fairly relaxed environment for the birds, sometimes they decide not to be part of the show and just fly away for a while.
The landscape is indescribable, even for Australia which is already quite unique.
