Les feux ont atteint la zone autour de Mallacoota, lundi matin. Après une nuit de forts vents et des feux incontrôlables, les pompiers ont accompagné ce matin les vacanciers sur le bord de mer, distribuant des gilets de sauvetage.

From Tyson Whelan. Mallacoota burning behind their boat. Devastating. So many lives affected by fires that have been burning in Australia for months. 😭🙏 Friend and her husband (camping at Mallacoota) made the decision to evacuate yesterday while they could. Couldn’t drive home so they drove further north. 4-5k people in the water at Mallacoota as the town was engulfed this morning. . . . #tysonwhelan #mallacoota #australiaburns #australianfires #🙏 #😭
