Des,
I made my living as an Industrial Chemist, but I am a degreed Biologist, also. I understand the task ahead of Australia. It may take 30-100 years, if at all, to round up nearby breeding pairs and groups in quantities that will help to re-populate the area, but many invertebrates may be rare and indeed now extinct. The battle will also include soil preservation and protection. The first to recover may be the most fire tolerant plants, but establishing anything close to the prior flora may be difficult to impossible. Keep the faith and encourage your friends, neighbors, and leaders to be forward thinking and give it one hell of an effort.
Peace and strength be with you. If you are of faith, look to the peace and grace that passes understanding and draw on the spirit in each to overcome.

Wpresto,
Great shot. Feeling of action and impending action. Many shots look like portraits. It is harder to capture "action".

Ducatigaz,
Sweet capture of owl in flight! Energy and position of body is eye catching.
