Queensland is facing its worst bushfire season in recorded history with residents being warned to expect more fires due to hotter and drier conditions.
It comes on the back of a shocking weekend for authorities fighting hundreds of fires across the state.
21 properties in the Gold Coast Hinterland suburb of Binna Burra, including 15 homes and the historic Binna Burra Lodge have been lost as a result of bushfires since Thursday.
As of last night, 58 fires continued to burn across Queensland.
Acting Fire Commissioner Mike Wassing says that emergency services are “ready” for the season ahead.
