People perished in family groups attempting to shelter in their homes, or trying to escape the onslaught in the streets or trying to get away in cars.

Several towns are closed off and are considered "crime scenes" as people have perished in streets,front yards, roads...,and several fires have been deliberately lit.

So far 180 souls have perished in these towns,,that number is expected to rise to over 300,,over 1800 homes have been destroyed, with over 5000 people now displaced and living in makeshift tent cities, thanks to the help of the Australian Army
