The darkness in #Mallacoota is utterly surreal. Not far off pitch black when this should be a beautiful sunny morning. pic.twitter.com/1tY1i4PZfi

My last day of the decade felt like the apocalypse. Been covering the Australian bushfires for the last 6 weeks, but haven’t seen anything like yesterdays fire that decimated the town of Conjola, NSW. #bushfirecrisis #AustralianBushfires #NSWisburning work for @nytimes pic.twitter.com/KmVKqDMKsf

Hi @ScottMorrisonMP. My photo comes to you from my backyard, Te Mata Peak in #HawkesBay, New Zealand. We’re just under 2,400kms away from Australia & we awoke to this today. Why don’t you grow a pair & listen to your constituents??#AUSTRALIANBUSHFIRES #ScottyfromMarketing pic.twitter.com/YNqxC2nVOp

Is the tragedy of #Australia's current widespread bushfires the country's "Chernobyl moment"? @David_Ritter argues that it could be as "the scale of the fires is colossal, with appalling loss of human life and property & the destruction of world heritage". https://t.co/x38d8x8O34

Does there not come a point where the fear & terror experienced by Australians,whether at the centre of these catastrophes or feeling helpless watching on,demands true national leadership rather than sporting heroism metaphors? #AustralianFires #bushfirecrisis #auspol #leadership https://t.co/JSHeoBZSQA

A bit different from what I remember 20 years ago.

This fire season wasn't just predicted last year. It was predicted, almost to the day, in the Garnaut Report *twelve years ago*. This is why we have experts prepare reports on issues of national security. So we can be forewarned. So we can act. https://t.co/oksBID5UWj
