There is a faecesbook post of the video dong the circuit since early
Thursday. As well as large areas under bushfire, the area is suffering
from a lengthy heat wave of high temperature. so an animal that normally
hides humans will approach looking for water. (smell it?)

There was something in the news yesterday about large numbers of koala
dying in the fire.

Port Macquarie, NSW, middle of the (east) coast. One of three significant
popuations of Koalas in NSW and fire ripped through the entire area. They
are slow on the ground and the long drought has dried out forest areas
that might have provided refugee.
