Ask a travel expert: Is it safe to visit Australia this year with all the wildfires? tgamtravel

. Remember that your world map is probably lying to you about Australia’s size. The country is just more than 75 per cent of the size of Canada. As of press time – and things change by the day – the major fires have been limited to New South Wales , South Australia , Queensland , Tasmania and Victoria .

The Northern Territory and Western Australia are not among areas of concern but, again, that changes day to day. Cancelling a trip to Perth today would be akin to cancelling a trip to Saskatoon for a fire in Toronto, but the summer is young in Australia and things change by the hour. On South Australia’s Kangaroo Island, which compares in size to New York’s Long Island, bushfires were responsible for two deaths on the western side of the island. Residents say that while there is significant damage to areas on the western side including the Southern Ocean Lodge resort and Flinders Chase National Park, the more densely populated eastern side of the island has been spared.
