Australia bushfires: Fresh warnings in Queensland and New South Wales
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 suburbs of Sydney.
On Wednesday, blazes caused fresh emergencies in Queensland.
"The conditions are of concern to us," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told reporters.
