Overview
The bushfires which occurred at the end of 2002 and
beginning of 2003 were among the most protracted and extensive
experienced since European settlement of Australia. Fires burnt large
tracts of land throughout Australia, caused damage to property, killed
livestock and caused the loss of lives.
