G'day Rico ... a very powerful limerick indeed Rico. They'll keep doing this until the last tree is gone; and then humanity follows - thank you Rico - Lindsay

Forestry admit to allowing millions of acres to burn as being too expensive to extinguish, plus ashes "nourish" the forest. It will take more than 20-years just to replace trees destroyed by this summer's wildfires, ample time for mining and fuel corporations to get rich "developing the natural resources" on public land! Forget the smoke! It is the skunk that stinks!
