Birchip and Bull in the Wimmera Mallee Birchip is a town in the Mallee. The Sunraysia Highway passes through town and the town is north of Donald. A population of less than one thousand people. The region has gained widespread recognition for its association with the iconic Mallee bull and the rugged Mallee stump. One of the distinctive attractions in Birchip is a meticulously crafted replica of a massive Mallee Bull positioned prominently in the central median of the main street. This artistic representation serves as a testament to the area's rich agricultural heritage and pays homage to the resilience and strength embodied by these magnificent creatures. The presence of this symbolic sculpture not only adds character to the town but also offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness a Mallee Bull up close, showcasing the intricate details and sheer grandeur of this remarkable species. It stands as a striking reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the local community and the land, highlighting the significance of agriculture in shaping the identity of the region. As visitors stroll along the main street, they are greeted by the imposing figure of the Mallee Bull, a powerful symbol that encapsulates the spirit of Birchip and the surrounding countryside. Wycheproof Is in northwestern Victoria. Another small town of a population less than that of Birchip. The name, Wycheproof, is meant to mean 'grass on a hill'. Townspeople claim Mount Wycheproof is the smallest mountain in the world and is not a hill. Located on the fringe of town with about a height of forty-three metres. The town was famous for its yearly 'King of the Mountain' race, in which competitors had to carry a sixty kg wheat bag up the short steep road. The event attracted thousands of spectators. Donald Is a town at the junction of Sunraysia Highway and Borung Highway and has a population more than twice that of Wycheproof. There is riverside signage explaining the story behind the Bullock Head. A large man made structure of a cod fish is on the opposite riverbank. In the quaint town, nestled along the banks of the Richardson River, stands a unique and intriguing landmark known as the Bullock Head. This iconic feature, despite its name, is not a living creature but rather a striking silhouette of a dead tree that has captured the imagination of locals and visitors alike. The Bullock Head is said to bear a remarkable resemblance to the head of a bullock, with its distinctive curved horn, piercing eyes, and flared nostrils. Its weathered bark and twisted branches only add to its mystique, as if frozen in time, telling tales of a bygone era. Over the years, this natural sculpture has become a symbol of the town's rich history and a source of fascination for those who come across it. Traveling through the Wimmera Mallee region makes for an enjoyable journey.

Each fire season in regional and rural Australia a bushfire threat exists to property, flora and fauna. Lives are at risk in these fire fuelled environments. The winter months of June, July and August are dry in Northern Australia and the summer months particularly in February are hot and dry in southern Australia. Pre season fire mitigation management can only go so far. Many call for more work to be done by authorities. The debate is ongoing with how much clearing should be carried out. Argument's for and against. Tourists and Australia Bushfires Fire Survival Wildfire and forest fire are called bushfires in Australia. Our bushland Eucalyptus trees and their bark and oils making them highly flammable. Often referred to as 'gum trees' these trees are very common throughout Australia. Along with dry grasslands a significant fire hazard exists. Visitor's to fire prone area's are safe as long as precautions such as listening for any media alerts and extreme weather alerts available via local radio, mobile phones etc. are acted upon. Risk of death is possible or even likely if road blocks are driven around and then entered into in an active fire zone. Not all are manned. Due to limited resources. This does not mean the risk is lower. Radiant heat is the major cause of bushfire death followed by smoke inhalation. Both are deadly. Radiant heat is life threatening at a range of five times the flames height. A simplistic example: Flame height is a crucial factor in assessing the severity and potential danger of a fire. In the context provided, a flame height of five metres multiplied by five results in an alarming twenty-five metres, which is equivalent to approximately eighty-two feet. To put this into perspective, the height of a typical house does not exceed five metres, highlighting the immense scale of such flames. In Australia, where the standard two-way road width is 7.4 metres or 24 feet, the potential threat becomes evident. Even with a cleared roadside verge of ten metres (two times five metres), the proximity of flames of this magnitude poses a clear and immediate risk to life, especially for individuals in vehicles. It is important to note that the majority of bushfire flame heights far exceed five metres, making the situation even more hazardous. The intensity and speed at which a fire front can advance are also critical factors to consider. A fire front moving at speeds of up to twenty-five kilometers per hour or approximately fifteen miles per hour can rapidly engulf vast areas, leaving little time for evacuation or containment efforts. These statistics underscore the urgent need for robust fire prevention measures, early detection systems, and effective emergency response strategies to mitigate the devastating impact of wildfires on both lives and property. The Summer of 2025 Grampians Bushfire A few days preceding Christmas Day 2024 evacuation orders were issued for the small townships of Halls Gap, Pomonal and Moyston bordering the Grampians National Park in Victoria. The order for both residents and tourists. The Grampians National Park was declared closed due to the large bushfires burning within the Park. The fires were sparked by a lightning strike.

About one third of the Grampians National Park burnt out. Mainly in unpopulated forested areas. The fire fighting involving six hundred fire fighters and dozens of aircraft. The bushfires posed imminent danger to life and property approaching the new year of 2025. Four properties were lost to fire in Moyston. All fires contained by January 6th. Moping up duties to be carried out by fire crews on site for much of January 2025.

On February 13, 2024 a dry lightning strike started a bushfire in the Grampians National Park burning down the mountain range and into the edge of Pomonal. Forty-five homes were lost to fire on a day of high wind and forty degree Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) temperature. No fire deaths and very little livestock reported lost. The town general store, church, school, hotel, community hall and fire station were all spared. Fire impacted the town on all sides. All lost buildings were on the mountain range side. About 2,200 hectares burnt or 5,500 acres. The fire gained extensive national news coverage. Ten days later the public was granted access to the township's main through road. In the area smoke haze could be seen hanging in the air and smelt from another current bushfire this time eighty km distant and nearer to Melbourne also with homes lost. Media warnings of more extreme hot weather in the coming days and for all people to remain vigilante in the vicinity of the Grampians National Park. The last major fire to impact the area was in late January of 2006 with two deaths of local residents in a car found on the main Pomonal/Moyston road.

Located within the Grampians National Park, Victoria is Roses Gap. Roses Gap Road is a fully sealed road connecting to the Western Highway and Wartook. The road provides access to Beehive Falls. These are usually just a trickle of water in the warmer months. Troopers Creek bush camp sites and The Wander Inn, Wartook are nearby if travelling by car. The more direct route to Halls Gap is a relatively flat gravel road of 20 km plus. Bushfires have raged in the area as can be seen from a few roadside fire affected signs that were never replaced. The bushland generally recovers within one or two years of a fire burning through the area. In the summer months the national park can get high temperatures and in turn this will dry out the underlying scrub. Roses Gap Road, once known as the 'Old Adelaide Road,' holds a significant historical value as it served as a vital route connecting different regions. This road, steeped in history, winds its way through picturesque landscapes, offering glimpses of towering cliffs that majestically rise from the surrounding bushland.

Only to end teary eyed when one of the many small birds flutters down to remove the food from the haplass tourist's plate or outstretched hand. Also a few of the larger white cockatoo's mingle amongst the steady stream of people ready for any unattended morsels. On one of my visits to the Stoney Creek Boardwalk in Halls Gap I was given a free choice of icecream from the many varieties on offer in a home made waffle cone from Halls Gap Ice Creamery . It's not unusual to see a queue of people form at peak times. On another visit I received a triple scoop cone. Thankyou. The owners & staff of Coolas Ice Creamery knew me and wouldn't accept payment. During 2024 the icecreamery changed ownership. So no more free triple scoop icecreams for me from 2024 onwards. Prices are reasonable and I don't mind to pay after a long hike for a tasty cold scoop or two, or three.
