• wood fires, including open campfires and fires in braziers, drums, other open containers,
• QPWS supplied fire-rings and barbeques, and
• ash producing fuels, heat beads, Oz-pigs and similar appliances.

This restriction applies to most of the National parks and State Forest parks in Queensland until 29th February 2020. And a lot of creeks have ceased to run and the surrounding bush land is tinder dry! So please heed this warning. We have enough small fires up here at present caused by idiots, without making any big additional ones!! Stay safe this Christmas and protect the environment and peoples' homes from destruction . I love the bush!! Please pray for good rains.
