My thoughts too - though those fires cover <<25% of Oz. There are fires visible in Africa but not nearly as many. If you compare the google map to the satellite images you can work out the fires from the settlements. Maybe the many large herbivores keeps the fuel load down, perhaps Africa is more closely managed and so fires are rarer (note that most fires in Oz are in the least settled areas), or we just got 'lucky' during those few weeks.
