An early blowtorch has been applied to the long, difficult bushfire season ahead as numerous blazes burnt out of control through the local region on Tuesday, from Bermagui on the South Coast, to Bredbo and Shannons Flat south of the ACT.
On Wednesday morning, a NSW Rural Fire Service spokesperson said several homes had been lost in the Coolagolite Road bushfire affecting areas like Cuttagee, Murrah, and Baragga Bay. Details of how many homes have been burnt down, and where, are still emerging.
