The Bureau of Meteorology warns that the weather changes might prolong the fight against the bushfire in Fraser Island.


The Bureau warned that winds with a speed of up to 50 kilometres per hour would lead to more dry conditions, something that could make the authorities’ efforts in Fraser Island more difficult.


  • Authorities expect some rains in the next few days
  • Strong winds increase the danger of fire

Although rainfall is expected over the coming days, so far rain hasn’t managed to put out the multiple fronts burning in the island.

So far more than 80,000 thousand hectares of land in the island have been consumed by the fire.
