Fraser Island fire approaches town
A bushfire that has razed through half of Fraser Island is on Monday morning fast encroaching on a township and threatening dozens of lives.
An emergency alert at 3.30am on Monday issued a third ‘LEAVE NOW’ warning to Happy Valley residents, urging people to get out before it became too dangerous to drive to safety.
Early on Monday morning, a large fire was travelling in a south-easterly direction towards the township of Happy Valley. It is expected to have a “significant impact” on the community when it hits at 7am.
