NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner warns of 'long way to go' as crews battle bushfires in New South Wales and Queensland
Raging bushfires have now reached the outskirts of Sydney, destroying a number of properties, officials say.
Scores of fires are still burning in New South Wales amid temperatures of 35C (95F) and winds of 80km/h (50mph).
A feared southerly wind change has now occurred but the "catastrophic" day feared has largely been avoided.
No deaths were reported on Tuesday but fire chiefs warned that conditions meant the dangers facing the state were far from over.
