10.01.2022 BUSHFIRE UPDATE There has been extensive damage to the south coast and other areas around Canberra including the Snowy Mountains and the north of Victoria. The are currently no fires in Canberra, however there has been a high level of smoke haze and very low air quality.... Transport to and from Melbourne and Sydney has been running fine. All tourists have been ordered to evacuate from the south coast area between Nowra and the Victorian border. There are a number of zones in Victoria that are also being evacuated - mainly in the Gippsland and alpine areas. The Snowy Mountains area including Thredbo YHA and all of the national park have been evacuated. Many people are coming through Canberra from the coast. We are fully booked out for tonight. Some showgrounds are open to camping including Queanbeyan, Bungendore and Hall. There is a relief centre at Dickson College. A number of places in Canberra will be closed tomorrow including National Zoo & Aquarium Canberra and Visit AIS among others. Little in Canberra is doing a great job updating some of these closures. Tomorrow will be an extremely hot day (approx 42 degrees) and they are predicting worse fire conditions. If you are told to leave, leave. If you are in a safe place it is best not to travel tomorrow as fire conditions can change dramatically. Further information can be found at the NSW Rural Fire Service website or ACT Emergency Services Agency or by listening to your local ABC radio. Please stay safe and follow the instructions from the authorities.
