Wildfires - Tasmania

Emergency services in Tasmania are battling 72 separate bushfires. Smoke from Tasmania's numerous bushfires is being spotted as far away as New Zealand as parts of the state remain at threat from blazes up to 20,000 hectares in size. The greatest threat on Monday was posed by an "erratic" fire burning near Geeveston, southwest of Hobart, where about 400 people have evacuated their homes.
