I found some links to sites that help us set up gardens that are less prone to being bushfire hazards, and also there are some drought tolerant plant sites too…

Do you live in an area prone to bushfire? If you do, you need to know whether your garden is a bushfire hazard and if it is, how best to protect it. And more important, how to plant it to protect your family, your pets and livestock, and your home.

As the world’s driest continent, Australia is unsurprisingly home to an abundance of drought tolerant plant species, including many of strong architectural form and high aesthetic value, well suited to garden cultivation.

The good news: a good garden or shelter belt CAN slow down a fire. A house in a good garden may be more fire resistant than one with bare earth around it. BUT the plants you choose need to be the correct ones, grown in the correct way.

If you live in a high bushfire risk area, you can expect several days on which you, your family and your house may be threatened by fire. You need to know exactly what you will do on these days. You need a really practical bushfire survival plan.

A well-designed and maintained garden will help to keep your home safer from bushfires.
