Australia bushfires: Homes destroyed but no more deaths

Australian fire crews have battled through the night as more than a hundred fires continue to burn in eastern states, dozens out of control.
Tuesday's conditions were officially designated catastrophic but although many homes went up in smoke, and hundreds of people sought shelter in refuges, no lives were reported to have been lost.
Three-hundred new fires were reported yesterday in New South Wales alone.
A fire erupted just 15 kilometres away from central Sydney, leaving flames metres from people's homes.
