Sydney, October 29. \u2014<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Although all bushfires<\/span> on near State forests are under control, the position will remain serious until rain is received, the N.S.W. Commissioner for Forests (Mr. . L. S Hudson) said today.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
He said at a minimum 50,000 acres of native hardwoods at all stages of growth from seedlings to fully matured trees, had been damaged or destroyed in the recent bushfires<\/span> in State forests. The greatest loss was in young trees of up to 15 and 20 years of age.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
FIREBUG ?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
State forestry officials at Kendall, North Coast, said today they believed a firebug was responsible for the bushfire that today threatened Queens Lake State forest.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
District Forester W. U. Scott said he would ask that a detective from the Sydney C.I.B. be sent to the area.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Queens Lake forest is reputed to contain some of the best hardwood\u00a0 in N.S.W.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Meanwhile, with a continuation of hot, dry weather throughout the State, more bushfires<\/span> have broken out.<\/div>\n
The most serious appear to be in thick scrub in the Kuring Gai Chase trust area.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Outbreaks were reported from the Blue Mountains near Mt Victoria. Although firefighters in this area gained control and the danger is slight, bushfire danger in Sydney today was high.<\/div>\n
The city experienced its hottest day for seven months, the reading at 2.55 p.m. being 89.9 degrees, the highest since March 6, when the temperature reached 100.2 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Weather Bureau said tonight the bushfire danger in northern N.S.W. would remain for some time because no rain was expected.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
A haze of smoke covered much of the State coastline today down to the western Tasman Sea.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
