If somebody tells you that something was ‘blistering hot’, here’s an example of what the heat of the bushfire in Warrumbungle National Park did nearly a year ago.

The bushfire a year ago at the Warrumbungles was so hot that metal posts melted.

A major bushfire destroyed over 80% of Warrumbungle National Park about a year ago. Our journey east, back to Armidale, passes through the park giving us an opportunity to view the ferocity of the fire for ourselves.
