Wildfires - Tasmania
A fire alert for Lake Mackenzie in the Great Western Tiers in Tasmania's north has been downgraded as conditions ease for crews battling dozens of blazes across the state.
The fire is burning in a forested area but the Tasmania Fire Service said residents in surrounding towns should remain vigilant and continue to monitor conditions.
Of the 82 bushfires burning across the state, 45 are not contained. Most of them are not directly threatening townships or properties.
A total fire ban has been declared in the northern regions, and authorities expect the number of fires to grow as blazes sparked by lightning strikes last week flare up.
