Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox wildfire The 1974–75 Australian bushfire season is a series of bushfires, also known around the world as wildfires, that burned across Australia. Fires that summer burned up an estimated Шаблон:Convert.[1][2] Approximately 15% of Australia's land mass suffered "extensive fire damage"[1][3] including parts of New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

The fires killed six people, approximately 57,000 farm animals, farmers' crops, and destroyed nearly Шаблон:Convert of fencing.[4]Шаблон:Rp

The Australian Bureau of Statistics attributed the extent of the fires to "exceptionally heavy rainfall in the previous two years".[3]

Stephen J. Pyne qualified the fire season as the most destructive event in terms of hectares burned among historical fires in Australia, but added that “the 1974/75 fires had almost no impact and much of the damage was found by satellite after the fact.”[5] Nonetheless, fire historian Danielle Clode notes that these fires remain significant for being the biggest bushfire event by area ever recorded.[6] In 2011, retired Australian government scientist David Packham warned that "we are in for one big season" that could repeat the 1974 summer fires.[7]
