Bushfires can occur anywhere in Queensland. Severe bushfires are most common around the Queensland Central Coast, particularly in the Rockhampton region, heading west to Mount Morgan. However, smaller bushfires are also common anywhere along the eastern seaboard where the Great Dividing Range is covered with dense bushland.
Drought remains an ongoing natural disaster, but early in 2009, Australia was hit badly by both bushfires in Victoria, in the south and massive floods in Queensland's north.

Bushfires can occur in all parts of Australia. However, areas with very low vegetation cover, such as deserts and some urban areas, have a lower risk of bushfires compared to heavily forested regions or grasslands.
Some of the Australian states where wildfires have recently occurred include New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. These wildfires have caused significant damage to both wildlife and property in these areas.

Bushfires in Australia are affected by seasonal patterns, with the peak fire season typically occurring during the country's summer months (December to February). However, factors such as weather conditions and fuel availability can also influence when bushfires occur.
On average, Victoria experiences around 4,000 bushfires each year. These fires can vary in size and intensity, with some being quickly contained while others may burn for longer periods of time. Efforts are continually made to manage and mitigate the risks posed by bushfires in Victoria.
The devastating bushfires in Victoria, Australia, officially started on Saturday, 7 February 2009. Fire authorities were alerted to the worst of the fires at Kilmore, at 11.20am on Saturday, when smoke and then flames were seen near the top of a hill outside the town in central Victoria.
Bushfires are common in Australia. They can occur with equal force in grasslands and in bushland. They tend to occur more in the southern states, where summers are hot and dry, but they are also common up the coast of New South Wales, and in limited regions of Queensland, such as the area around Rockhampton.
Bushfires occur most frequently in countries with hot and dry climates, such as Australia, the United States, and Southern Europe. These regions experience conditions that are conducive to the rapid spread of fires, including high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds. Additionally, areas with dense vegetation, such as forests and grasslands, are more prone to bushfires.
