This area of tall eucalypt forest experienced a fire in mid-Nov 2019. The fire was part of a major blaze that burnt large tracts of forest on both sides of the NSW-Qld border.
Some smaller trees were killed, while it appears that nearby tall eucalypts died during a previous fire.
Subsequent regrowth of ground cover has been vigorous, and most surviving eucalypts are re-sprouting.
