Bushfires - Australia
More than 40 bushfires burned across South Australia on Sunday, scorching hundreds of hectares and threatening properties.
The spate of fires came before Wednesday's start to the official bushfire season in most districts and more than a month before summer. Country Fire Service volunteers battled grass fires fuelled by tricky weather conditions, including wind gusts of up to 100km/h and dry vegetation.
The biggest fire at Worlds End, in the state's mid-north, destroyed 280 hectares of stubble before being contained, but was still being monitored for flare-ups on Monday.
