Melissa in Australia Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I just found this map that shows the current fires going in Australia http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jan/10/australian-wildfires-rage-map-interactive ( well a few days ago, more have started since then) just under 150 houses have been destroyed in three states so far, and the hot part of summer is still to come!
