North Head is a key point in Sydney - sitting at the entrance to the Harbour, it adjoins the famous suburb of Manly, it houses "Q Station" (which had been the quarantine facility when shiploads of people arrived with then-untreatable diseases) and also is home to a large area of bushland, rich in wildife such as the endangered bandicoot.
Following last summer's terrible bush fires, the drive for proper "hazard reduction burning" before the next hot season is strong. During such an operation on North Head, the fires got out of control and ran away from the fire service. Thankfully, things were salvaged before anything terrible could happen.
In these shots, you see the fire, with the buildings of Q Station in front of it.
