Me and a couple of my mates went for a walk into the pearl beach bushland were we have gone herping many times.
What made us go up today with such bad weather was that the 240 hectares of bush was burnt down by the rural fire brigade.
Although backburning is a helpful thing to residents in the area i was shocked to see how much bush was gone. We went up in the night past the barrier blocks to see how they were burning and it was cruel, they just set the bush on fire and let it burn through the whole bush right through to the roads and houses which there they would put out the fire.
we saw a few skinks and a green tree snake out soaking up the sun , but the burnt bushland and logs that were still on fire gave the animals no where to hide.
Heres a photo of the the green tree snake we found, luckily it had no damage from the fires
