🧡🖤 We found a whole new family of brushtails we never knew! Brushtail rock wallabies were thought to be extinct on the Little Liverpool Range until recently. Georgie is doing an amazing job extending our knowledge of them on #qtfnaroona 🐾🍂🌾 #uqscience #womeninstem #conservationmastersthesis

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the fires around Queensland.
Thank you to the incredible firefighters and emergency services crews working around the clock.
Queensland remains in the midst of the worst bushfire threat in recorded history and an omen of things to come, the state's fire service has warned.
These conditions are deeply troubling and it’s devastating to see fire burning in the World Heritage-listed Central Eastern Rainforest.
If you'd like to support wildlife carers, the Rescue Collective are collecting animal care resources to donate to carers.

The red-hot question after destructive hinterland fire — can rainforests burn?
Acting Queensland Premier Jackie Trad says the Gold Coast hinterland fire that swept through the area over the weekend included areas of rainforest — a highly unusual event.We were at Bunya Mountains on the weekend. A rainforest that was very dry sadly. I am praying for rain ☔️
Well the Amazon is burning, I think that answers your question.😢
❤️🙏🌎
They can if there’s no rain.
What about the Amazon?
Perhaps the pertinent question is, ‘can rainforests, having lost their canopy, recover from fire?’
Yep. Look at the Amazon
Yes
Fair question. Once rainforest is stripped of canopy and old trees yes it can burn. I live in fnq . Mission beach . Tropical Rainforest . It has never burnt despite being very dry . Isnt the hinterland SUB tropical .. which makes a difference . Apparently . The more RAIN in an area perhaps the RAINFOREST IS LESS LIKELY TO BURN . WHY ?? BECAUSE THE BIG TREES HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED . UNLIKE THE AMAZON WHEN HAVE U HEARD OF THE DAINTREE BURNING ??
Do you live under a rock? All last week we didn’t hear anything else besides the Amazonian rain forest ablaze. You have the right conditions to burn just about anything even a well watered lawn will dry out and burn under direct contact with hot dry winds. A neighbours lawn caught fire one day and was one of the hardest fires to put out without lots of water. It would just dart all over the place and nearly burnt the car only some one noticed a flame appear close by.
Yes
You bet your life they can
I hope the little shits that started these fires are made to visit those that were affected and made to work with the poor animals who suffered so badly
The difference here is, that the amazon rainforests were cleared first. Oh, yeah, we are talking about Queensland...
Of course they can, the heat of somefires would melt steel
Concrete & heat resistant glass a must.
