Abavakashi bayabaleka Umlilo wequbulae-Australia. Ibanga elingu-420 km ukusuka e-Sydney, umeluleki wezokuvakasha, kanye nomnikeli we-eTN u-David Beirman unesipiliyoni esihluke kakhulu nempendulo azokwabelana ngayo ngeHolide lakhe Leminyaka Entsha eNyakatho. ENew South Wales.
INew South Wales iyisifunda esiseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Australia, esihlukaniswa ngamadolobha asogwini namapaki kazwelonke. I-Sydney, inhloko-dolobha yakhona, iyikhaya lezakhiwo eziyizimpawu ezifana ne-Sydney Opera House kanye ne-Harbour Bridge. Ngaphakathi nezwe kunezintaba eziluhlaza ezimangelengele, amahlathi emvula namadolobha asemaphandleni lapho kumbiwa khona ama-opal. Ngasogwini kukhona amabhishi okuntweza amade. Isifunda saseHunter Valley, enyakatho, sinezitolo eziningi zewayini.
Kusukela ngoSepthemba 2019 imililo yehlathi icekele phansi amahlathi kuzo zonke izifunda nezindawo zase-Australia. Imililo yehlathi ka-2019-20 isivele yaba uchungechunge olubanzi kakhulu lwemililo yehlathi kusukela ekuqaleni kokuhlala kwabantu base-Europe ngo-1788. Umhlahlandlela omuhle kakhulu we-BBC ikhombisa izinga elikhulu lemililo yase-Australia ezifundazweni ezimbili zase-Australia ezinabantu abaningi kakhulu eNew South Wales naseVictoria.
Okwamanje “ngisemaholidini” esifundeni saseNew England eNyakatho neNew South Wales cishe amakhilomitha angama-420 eNyakatho Ntshonalanga ye-Sydney. Idolobhana engizinze kulo linemililo emikhulu yehlathi eNyakatho yethu, eNingizimu naseMpumalanga. Izakhamuzi zasesigodini esiseduze ziye zelulekwa ukuthi zikulungele ukuphuma futhi izivakashi zicelwe ukuba ziphume endaweni yokukhempa edumile kule ndawo. Ngobusuku bangaphambi kukaNcibijane, izivakashi nezakhamuzi zaziswa ngenkonzo yasemakhaya yaseBushfire, iNational Parks, i-State Emergency Services kanye nezikhulu zeZamahlathi mayelana nesimo somlilo endaweni yethu. Nakuba imililo eminingi ivinjwa, inhlanganisela yamazinga okushisa aphezulu kuma-'40s (105 F), ukushintsha kwemimoya kanye nesomiso seminyaka emibili kubhebhethekise amalangabi kulo lonke elaseNew South Wales. Amavolontiya amakhulu kunawo wonke ase-Australia alwa nemililo yasehlathini enze umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukulimala kwabantu nempahla kodwa umonakalo emvelweni ube mubi kakhulu.
Ngaphandle kwalokhu, amakhaya angaphezu kuka-1,000 acekeleke phansi kwathi abantu abayi-12 kubalwa nabacimi bomlilo aba-5 balahlekelwe izimpilo zabo. Esifundeni sakithi saseNew South Wales, ingxenye eyodwa kwezine yamahlathi ombuso ashisiwe. E-NSW iyodwa, indawo yokushiswa kwamahlathi ilingana nokuphindwe kathathu kwemililo yakamuva yaseCalifornia.
Ihlobo lase-Australia ngo-December-Januwari liyisikole sendabuko nesikhathi samaholide omsebenzi. Izindawo eziningi ezidumile ezisogwini, izindawo zeholide ezisenyakatho naseningizimu ye-Sydney zinqanyulwe imililo yehlathi futhi ukufinyelela nokubuya kuzo kukhawulelwe. Esifundeni sase-Victorian sase-Gippsland 100-150km empumalanga ye-Melbourne, izindawo eziningi ezisogwini zivinjelwe imililo. Ezindaweni zokungcebeleka eziningana zasogwini oluseningizimu ye-NSW, abavakashi basedolobheni bavalelwe emabhishi njengoba imililo esezindaweni ezishisayo ivimbela ukubaleka kwabo ukuze baphume emizileni. I-Blue Mountains, indawo edumile yabahambi bosuku eqhele ngamakhilomitha angu-100 entshonalanga ye-Sydney, ngokuvamile enikeza ukubukwa kwe-canyon okuhle kakhulu imbozwe intuthu yomlilo wehlathi e-Blue Mountains.
Izolo ebusuku, i-Sydney ingenise uNyaka Omusha ngeziqhumane zayo ezimangalisayo ezibonisa phezu kwe-Sydney Harbour. Ngokuvamile, lesi sibonisi sijabulisa abantu bendawo futhi siheha izinkulungwane zezivakashi ezivela kulo lonke elase-Australia nasemhlabeni. Lo mbukiso ubulokhu umangalisa njengakuqala futhi abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi okuhlanganisa nezinkulungwane zezivakashi ezikleliswe ezindaweni zokubuka ukuze bazibukele. Nokho, kulo nyaka umbukiso weziqhumane awuzange wamukelwe emhlabeni wonke. Bangaphezu kuka-275,000 abakwaSydneysider abasayine incwadi yezikhalazo esho ukuthi bayaphikisana neziqhumane phakathi kwenkinga yomlilo wehlathi onzima kakhulu ezweni. Abafake izicelo bathi imali esetshenziswe kwiziqhumane ibingasetshenziswa kangcono ukusiza abacimi bomlilo kanye nezisulu zomlilo esikhundleni sokwengeza ukungcola kwentuthu okubalulekile kakade eSydney.
Empeleni, ukukhula okukhulu kwezezimali nezokuvakasha okulethwa iziqhumane zomlilo zase-Sydney zangaphambi kukaNcibijane eSydney (AUD $130 Million) kwaba namandla ngaphezu kokukhathazeka ngesimilo. Njengoba iziqhumane zivutha phezu kwamanzi kuthathwe njengokuphephile futhi kukhululiwe ekuvinjweni okuphelele komlilo owenziwe yi-Rural Bushfire Service. Emadolobheni amaningi ase-Sydney nasezindaweni zasemaphandleni nasezifundeni ze-NSW imikhandlu eminingi yendawo yakhansela iziqhumane zangaphambi kukaNcibijane (imvamisa ngenxa yezizathu zokuphepha). Ezweni lami engiya kulo ngeholide, senze ngomdanso we-rolicking pub ukuya kumahithi ango-1980 kanye nombukiso olula.
Akungabazeki ukuthi ubude nokuqina kwemililo yehlathi kunomthelela ekuvakasheni kwamazwe ngamazwe e-Australia kanye nezokuvakasha zasekhaya. Kube nokuhoxiswa kanti eminye imicimbi ezindaweni ezikhahlanyezwe ngumlilo ichithiwe. Kodwa-ke, abantu base-Australia bayakhuthazela. Impilo nezokuvakasha kuyaqhubeka. Ngisho nemililo eseduze.
Mina, kanye nabanye abantu base-Australia abaningi siyaqhubeka nokujabulela iholide lethu lasehlathini emahlathini asele. Ngokwemvelo, siyazinaka kakhulu izixwayiso zomlilo futhi ama-barbeque okubaswa ngezinkuni awavunyelwe. Imililo iholele ekutheni kube nesibhakabhaka esishunqa izinsuku ezithile eSydney, Melbourne, Adelaide nasePerth nasenhlokodolobha iCanberra. Naphezu kokusakazwa kwabezindaba okuvusa inkanuko, i-Australia ayizange ishiswe ibe umlotha futhi isenzakalo esibalulekile sokuna kwemvula esingase sibhuqe amalangabi.
Abavakashi bamukelekile e-Australia ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zasemakhaya nasezifundeni zase-Australia. Uma ufika emaphandleni nasezifundeni zase-Australia ungaqinisekiswa ngokwamukeleka ngemfudumalo, izivakashi ezikwenzayo ukuyithanda. Kuliqiniso ukuthi isibhakabhaka emadolobheni amakhulu ase-Australia bekungakabi bikho ikhava yencwajana kahle emasontweni asanda kwedlula kodwa i-Australia isaqhubeka. Ulwazi lweBushfire nezibuyekezo zitholakala ngezilimi ezingama-35 eVictoria nezilimi ezingama-20 eNew South Wales. Umsakazi kazwelonke wase-Australia i-ABC inikeza umthombo omuhle kakhulu nonembile wolwazi mayelana nesimo somlilo wehlathi.
