Australia’s three-decade unbroken run of economic growth is in large part due to its success in tapping the rise of its largest trading partner, China.

But as the deadly coronavirus outbreak shuts down a swath of the Chinese economy, just as Australia suffers its own crisis in the form of the devastating wildfires emergency, economists are warning that the 28-year stretch is under threat.

“There is a very real risk that gross domestic product will contract as a result of the combined drag from the bushfires and coronavirus,” said Sarah Hunter, economist at BIS Oxford Economics. “Whether we go from this to a recession critically depends on how the outbreak unfolds.”

Bushfires and coronavirus twin disasters hit Australia's tourism sector

Jason Cronshaw runs bus tours in the iconic New South Wales Blue Mountains and normally has six hop-on, hop-off buses on the road over December and January, but not this summer.

"During some of those days we only ran one bus and that was really just to try and ensure we were still out there servicing the people that were coming out, but we really were running on very few people," Mr Cronshaw said.

His family has run the Fantastic Aussie Tours business for more than four decades.

"In 45 years I have never seen any sort of downturn like this."

The images of the Australian bushfires that were beamed across the world elicited international sympathy and donations but deterred holidaymakers.

"The first cancellation the Blue Mountains received was in September last year, when the fires started on the North Coast [of New South Wales] and that was international travellers who didn't come to Australia," Mr Cronshaw said.

With Australia's Hillsides Stripped Bare By Fire, Scientists Rush To Predict Mudflows

First came the fires, denuding millions of acres of forest in eastern Australia. Now comes the rain, more than 12 inches in just 48 hours over this past weekend in some areas of New South Wales.

That sequence, severe bushfires followed by torrential rain, is bringing a third cataclysm — landslides and large-scale erosion.

Here's why. Without leafy trees to offer protection, the water falls directly on hard earth. It pools and rolls, gathering into a torrent. If the hill the rain falls on is just the wrong steepness, the soil just the wrong hardness, the downpour just a little too intense... whoosh.
