| Wild fires were an everyday occurrence along the northern rim of the desert-dry Outback. In the remote wilderness, little is -- little can be -- done to contain them or prevent them. They simply burn until a treeless, grrassless area stops them. With the rainy season still weeks away during our drive in that part of Western Australia, we passed miles of destroyed grasslands. The picture above shows a ring of wild fires in the mountains that contain Lake Argyle, the huge government-built irrigation lake for the Kununurra area. | |
