Hi all,
we just spent four days crossing the desert to Alice Springs from Perth.
Its a funny thing. The rain has been falling and there are pools of water everywhere, but there are still bush fires. We had to dodge three so far, nothing dangerous, we never came within half a mile of a naked flame.
We have seen a few burned out vehicles, always next to a gum tree. When I stopped for a power-nap yesterday, I naturally pulled into shade. Under a gum tree.
The missus says, 'I think I know why all those vehicles burned out'.
The theory is that the cars catch fire when the gum trees burst into flames, like semi-extinguished candles.
