@Karritz I guess parts of Australia are prone to bush fires during hot dry weather. We have trouble with forest fires up here during summers too. It's sad to drive through burned areas, but encouraging when new life appears.
Happy New Year @lanlyn. I've been struggling with several projects over the past few weeks and this new video has been really difficult to do. It took me weeks to get it all together.
My video schedule will next will be Caroline and Friends, McFluff Story and Isla Paradiso Bunch then Perfect Genetics and 30 Grandchildren before I get back to poor little Oscar.
Regarding your question on the bush fires here. Different parts of Australia seem to have different parts of the year that are affected by fire. Mostly it seems to be in the southern states. Around where I live Spring is usually the danger season. But the bush fires we had here in December were extremely unusual. They were catastrophic and couldn't be stopped or controlled initially and they were in places that don't usually have fire problems. Way up north, in the Wet Tropics, things are hard to burn at any time of the year but it seems they had issues then too. but by the time I got up there a week or so after the fires were out, there were floods and I was worried about getting through to Cairns by road. Luckily they've been building lots of new, much higher bridges or we wouldn't have made it. And that rain removed the fire threat for now. But it's been dry so far in January and I suspect it's getting dangerous again. On my return drive almost 2 weeks ago now, the burned areas were mostly covered with lush green growth. It won't take long for that to dry out in those areas and it'll be fire danger time again.
