The country is experiencing record breaking temperatures up to 40°C and New South Wales has been hit hardest by the fires. More than 1,300 houses had to be evacuated due to the 130 fires happening around the state.
Other states such as Victoria has also been affected to the rapid spreading bushfires, and the spread of smoke is said to affect air quality as far as New Zealand.
