In Australia, on Wednesday the 16th of February 1983, a series of over 100 bushfires started that swept across southern Australia, killing some 75 people, injuring 2,600 people, destroying roughly 9,000 homes, killing over 300,000 livestock, and causing damage totaling around $324 million. This day would become known as 'Ash Wednesday'.
