Australia bushfires to burn out of control for weeks

The blazes have torn through more than 300,000 hectares (741,316 acres) of bushland in state since the middle of the week, destroying more than 130 properties, including homes, and leaving thousands without power.

There were more than 30 fires burning in Victoria on Sunday morning.

These fires will not be contained before it gets hot, dry and windy again.
