Aerial footage shows Australian bushfires raging in rural New South Wales

Footage taken by the NSW Rural Fire Service showed a bushfire sweeping through an area near Bemboka in the Bega Valley in south-east New South Wales. The nearby area of Cobargo also experienced a fire-generated thunderstorm, according to the NSW Rural Fire Service. Authorities said that dry lightning could spark further flare-ups in Australia's fire-ravaged regions. Bushfires have destroyed more than 4m hectares of forest and brush across Australia in recent weeks.
