| January 1994 | In January 1994, bushfires that had been burning since mid December flared up along the coast of New South Wales. On 6 January, a fire broke out at the northern end of the Lane Cove National Park, spreading across the valley at West Pymble. The next day the fire raged into West Lindfield and destroyed seven houses and damaged others on Winchester Avenue. By 8 January 1994, 80 per cent of Lane Cove National Park had been destroyed by fire. In mid-January Ku-ring-gai’s community leaders met to discuss a recovery plan for the council area. The council gave priority to building applications from residents whose houses were destroyed or damaged in the fires. Two local residents of Ku-ring-gai stated that within two weeks of the fires, ferns were appearing on the forest floor due to the light streaming through the now open canopy, but trees, because of the severity of the fires, took longer than usual to recover. [3] Towards the end of February, Lane Cove National Park was re-opened but it was still vulnerable to human intervention and weed infestation. A grant of $330,000 was made by the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife to the Lane Cove National Park to help with the recovery and this money was used to form a community-based regeneration program known as the Friends of Lane Cove Park. https://dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/west_lindfield Winchester Avenue was devastated by the 1994 bushfires 128 Shirley street Roseville … Architect Geoffrey Twibill with pump he used to stop his house from burning.
