Seems from what I am seeing that the lessons learned from Stromlo and steps taken to make the AAO site safer is what has saved so many of the buildings. There's always a balance and if they only lose a few supporting buildings when the site was completely evacuated left to servive on it's own as the fire passed, I think that's quite a good outcome and they should be thanked for their forward planning. I wouldn't judge how prepared or unprepared they were at this stage, seems unfair.
