Communities assess devastating impact of bushfires

As Australians impacted by fire come to terms with the loss of their homes, and the disruption to their lives, the loss of stock and wildlife has yet to be fully assessed. Stock losses are so far confirmed at 20 thousand in New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria but that number is expected to rise substantially.
