It seems as if some of those old suggestions took root.<br /><br />https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/1050-vegetation-clearing<br /><br />Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588049222095187200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-24493479748992421122020-01-08T09:55:37.868+10:302020-01-08T09:55:37.868+10:30Thanks, Andrew, Cat
This is most interesting.
...Thanks, Andrew, Cat<br /><br />This is most interesting. <br /><br />I am trying to find details of a house that withstood the 1983 Victorian fires due to its large tree “hedge”, made, I think, of non-flammable pines - though this does sound unlikely.<br /><br />I will reply again here if I find details.<br /><br />The more thoughts, ideas, opinions, experiments, etc the better, if we can get a practicable outcome to ensure Australia is safer, more robust, and more liveable, everywhere.<br /><br />I think raising the price of water in Victoria had the unexpected consequence of people taking out their gardens and replacing them with concrete - and then needing air conditioners to keep cool. Also, the lack to vegetation generally makes places hotter. And it doesn’t look as nice...<br /><br />LMcCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
