A fire that's destroyed homes and forced hundreds of evacuations on Queensland's Sunshine Coast may have been deliberately lit.


A bushfire on Queensland's Sunshine Coast has destroyed at least 10 homes in the Peregian Springs area. 

Strong winds in northern New South Wales are likely to make it harder for fire crews battling blazes at Bees Nest, Shark Creek and Drake.

More than 600 firefighters are trying to control the fires.

Stock losses from the fires are expected to be high.
