Combined with the seagull article, I'm beginning to wonder if Hitchcock's filmography was more premonitory than we expected.

Bushfires are a completely normal part of the Australian ecosystem. It's been that way for at least tens of thousands of years. It's the stupid white settlers who believe that they can build houses within fire zone bushlands and expect to change the bush has evolved for many many years.

Bushfires are also a completely normal part of pubic grooming.
