Worst of Australia's fire season 'still ahead' bbc.com

Huge blazes continue to rage in two drought-hit states, amid warnings of a dangerous summer.
Australian authorities have warned that massive bushfires raging in two states will continue to pose a threat, despite "catastrophic" conditions easing.

About 150 fires are still burning in New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland, feeding off tinder-dry conditions.

Fifty houses were destroyed or damaged in NSW on Tuesday but no lives were lost, officials said. At one point, fires broke out in the suburbs of Sydney.
