QUEENSLAND Parks and Wildlife Service conducted a planned burn within the Mt Superbus section of Main Range National Park, east of the Great Dividing Range, on 29 April.
The burn was part of the annual hazard reduction/conservation management program for parks and forests.
As a result, smoke was seen in the Teviot Gap, Wilsons Peak and Kinnanes Falls areas.
The aim of the burn was to reduce the volume of forest fuels and to create a mosaic pattern of burnt and unburnt areas within the park.
This will help reduce the intensity of any subsequent wildfires and provide favourable conditions for natural forest regeneration.
For more information, please call the Main Range office of QPWS on 07 4666 1133.
