Yes but this fire was in WA where the flora, much like the population, is feral and scrubby growth which breeds back twice as fast as it's cut down. Have you seen the photos? There might be some sort of unique west aussie weed there the locals adore but no one else knows or cares about it because it's about as interesting an organism as a canker. Don't worry, it'll bounce back thicker than before. This park is WA's floral equivalent of bogen central and this sort of uncouth scrub can't be suppressed for long even with flame.
