The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone
It's reported that his comment on it was "it was always burning, since the world's been turning."

Reply to comment by eairy in TIL there's an "ancient druids temple" in England that was actually built 200 years ago as a solution to local unemployment by alexwasashrimp
The United States did a similar thing during the Great depression. They founded the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was a program that provided jobs for unemployed young men. They went and built a lot of our national parks. Last year I went to a birthday party hosted in a stone pavilion in a national park that had photos taken of people from the CCC building it.

As an American this doesn't help me understand how big something is. I am only capable of understanding sizes of things as compared to American football fields.
