It appears a group of feral children did the dastardly deed.

Yes.
Arson is always a major factor.
If I remember correctly upto 50% of OZ Bush fires are deliberate, suspicious or caused by stupidity.
Most of them are caused by stupidity.
People insist on building right up to (and in) the bush, and are then apparently completely surprised when everything burns to the ground. Then a lot of other people have to risk their lives to save these people from their folly.
Yes, Ivan.
I do find that amusing. You’d think people would be smart enough to figure that out. Eucalyptus trees do burn nicely thanks to their natural oils. So why build your house sooo close to them without proper fire breaks around your property.
I don’t understand why they’re not allowed to build underground like in Coober Pedy..
The green police won’t let you do anything practical or useful!
This guy cleared around his house and was taken to court by the council. His was the only house that survived in the 2009 fires:

They had help from the army, apparently:

How can this be possible now that Australia has a carbon tax? Wasn’t that supposed to deal with this?
Before the days that evil Big Oil started raping the planet, there was never a fire in Australia.
Yeah! Sure!
Almost 20 years ago I was watching rain bucketing down outside the windows while 1000 km away significant areas of bushland around Sydney were in flame.
Happens all the time – in the 50s Tasmania went up in flames.

Commentary on the NSW bush-fires from a fellow rationalist, David Evans : http://joannenova.com.au/2013/10/man-made-climate-change-and-bushfires-in-southeast-australia/ (this article was rejected by “The Age” Melbourne newspaper.)
2 of the fires in question and the biggest was started by Military explosives can you believe ?
