Well that is for WA, the western 1/3rd of Australia. I hear the
Nullabor has been closed to traffic the last week (basically the one
road linking WA to the rest of Australia).

To give a sense of scale to you Americans, imagine that not only is
California on fire, but also Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, as well as
New York State, Pensylvania and North Carolina. It is truly
unprecendented in Australian history, and larger by a significant
multiple than last year's Siberian bushfires.

I am optimisitic that this might be a sufficient jolt to cause us (as
in humanity) to take action - to jump out of the pot that has been
slowing heating up, instead of boiling to death like the luckless frog.
