Fire crews in Western Australia have been battling a blaze through the night near Margaret River in the state’s south west.
At least 1050 hectares have so far been burnt by fire as the Department of Fire and Emergency Services have said the blaze was moving in a north-westerly direction and had neither been controlled or contained.
100 firefighters are attempting to both fight the fire as well as strengthen containment lines to limit it’s spread.
Cooler temperatures are predicted today however winds are expected to be gusty as campgrounds, wineries and tourist attractions remain closed in the region for a second day in a row.
