The ABC has been ferociously pushing the line that the current NSW bushfires are "unprecedented". Well I can remember a huge bushfire in the Pilliga about 20 years ago that was bigger then the fires currently burning in the Blue Mountains- long before the ABC was cpativated by the global warming faith. The difference was that far fewer people live in the Pilliga than in the Blue Mountains. That of course is also a key difference between now and much earlier but far greater bushfires.
Andrew Bolt has published a list of bigger and earlier bushfires.
The ABC’s “unprecedented” fires occured 11 times already

The ABC is furiously promoting the NSW fires as “unprecedented” and evidence of the global warming that actually paused 15 years ago.
This morning Fran Kelly, host of ABC Radio National Breakfast, claimed there had never been bushfires in October and implicated global warming.
In fact, of 48 major bushfires in NSW between 1926 and 2006,11 occurred in October or earlier:
North-Western NSW: Bushfires – 01/09/84 deaths – 4
Western Sydney and Central Coast, NSW: 16/10/91 deaths – 2
Hunter Valley, NSW: 01/09/96
Central Coast/Hunter Valley/south coast. 15/08/96
NW NSW : Bush Fire 30/10/01
Sydney, NSW: Bushfires 09/10/02
Northern NSW: Bushfire 27/09/02
Central Coast, QLD/NSW: Bushfires 27/09/02
Cessnock, NSW: Bushfire 19/10/02 deaths – 1
NSW Bushfires 24/09/06
Bushfires: Sydney and South Coast, NSW 24/09/06
These fires are serious. But the scale of destruction is nothing likethe very worst we have faced:
