Cool relief for blazing Australia
Cooler weather has brought some relief to south-east Australia as fire crews continue to battle bushfires across several states.
Temperatures in New South Wales have fallen by more than 10C, after one of the highest-risk fire days in its history.
But scorching conditions are predicted to return at the weekend and new fires are spreading despite the drop, authorities say.
