AMERICA, the nation which gave the world 307 Nobel laureates, has today shown that its media is about as smart as one of its famously dopey teen beauty pageant contestants.
In a bizarre map produced by NBC News, pretty much the whole of Australia is depicted as being ablaze this week.
You might have thought the bushfires of the past week have been confined largely to New South Wales, but noooo. Not according to NBC they're not.
According to NBC, pretty much the entire country is on fire, including vast swathes of Cape York, the entire Darwin region, and vast portions of Western Australia's Great Sandy Desert where you'd be lucky to find two blades of grass to rub together.
NBC's cartographical catastrophe is all the more disturbing given the network spent pretty much the whole of the Sydney Olympics camped on the Opera House steps. You'd think they'd have picked up a little Australian geography during their extended stay.
Then again, perhaps they thought they were in Austria all along. Or maybe all those kangaroos hopping down George Street left them a little muddled or something.
Ask them to rectify mistake.
It shouldn't be big problem.
Few drones with incendiary bombs according to the presented map should rectify mistake.
I expect some problems with igniting sands at Alice Springs , but that problem could be solved by 307 Nobel Prize laureates too.
My guess is, that's what the New World Order has got planned for us and the news has leaked out a bit early.
You know, like the early announcement of the WTC 7 collapse. 
I think they are loading up the drones with incendiaries as we speak,.. eerrr ,.. write,.. type,..?
Just wait 'til aboominator gets onto this one. 
Looks like WA is safe so go for it.
All that extra heat to the NE will give us better seabreezes
When did Perth move south? Did they redirect the Swan, or is it now a much longer drive to the river?
quite possible it's genuine 
........ If they took an infared sat shot that shows up the hot spots
after a storm lightning strikes that soon peter out, farm burn offs, garbage dump fires,
seasonal burns on cattle property's to allow new grass growth with coming monsoons.
and of course the Aussie BBQ, and bush tucker hunts by local first people. 
mabey their fire symbol is a little large for the map too, very possible, even probable

Americans do seem to think our lightning strikes are all bushfires: www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/General-Discussion/Chat/Whys-east-WA-so-lit-up/

^ I reckon gibber has got it figured out
Or he just read the entire article that was linked 
what bl,,dy article? if one has been around the country many many times over many years, it's bl..dy obvious
Happen every year on every property nth of Capricorn, have a good look on google earth in really remote areas
huge fire burns from lightning strikes, Google australian lightning strikes the last storm front near adelaide
recorded many thousands strikes. Someone lights up the Broken Hill dump every week and heaps of little infill
dumps are burnt every week for vermin controll, they still burn sugar cane in some places, croppers
burn off stubble when they see fit. the list is endless. often the unknowing air stewarda bring passengers
attention to so called bush fires, [big noteing] which are in fact property managenet burn offs. The land owner will then
claim a tax deduction for matches. If you visit their places and annoy them they will provide you with a toyo dragging
a lighted old tyre behind and tell you to keep driving till sunset when tea will be ready. come in then. if you are city breed you will never understand
