Satellite Imagery - NSW Bushfires - December 2001 - January 2002
More than 100 bushfires raged across NSW from 25 December 2001 - January 8 2002, requiring over 20,000 regular and volunteer fire fighters and 85 aircraft. Vast stretches of forests were destroyed, including more than 60% of the Royal National Park. More than 11,000 people were evacuated from their homes and 560,000 hectares were burnt out.
The image below was acquired from the SPOT satellite on 27 December 2001 by ACRES, Geoscience Australia. It is produced here as a mosaic of 8 SPOT scenes covering about 120km wide and 240km long, stretching from Wyong in the north to Jervis Bay in the south. Healthy vegetation shows as bright red, forest as dark red, ocean and lakes as dark blue, burnt areas as black and smoke as blue/white.
