Considering the extent of the fire, how can there not be corpses everywhere?
The Prom is my favourite place to visit and I worry at the impact but am
endeavouring to be positive in that parts of the park probably "needed" a fire
and that it may be interesting to document how thinsg recover over the coming
years.... Still I notice my most reliable beautiful firetail site there appears
to be affected, not sure how well they would go outrunning fires.
Cheers
Tim

Further to those comments, the Herald-Sun (I know!) today contains an article
on the Prom fire. A DSE staff member is quoted as saying "only two possums
have been found injured", and that they did not anticipate finding too many
dead animals. Surely not. I thought incineration left corpses everywhere!!

Relax folks, you don't have to worry about the burning any more. On regional
radio this morning a DSE officer cheerily informed us that Wilson's Prom
looks wonderful, and will look even more wonderful in a couple of months
time. Furthermore, after spending a day and night checking the seven
thousand hectare fire area, he only found three singed critters, no dead
ones, and the bandicoots, owls, and little birds were going about their
business happily, just getting on with their lives. Yippeeeee! Duncan
