Thank you for correcting this, I knew the number was incorrect, one of the American ‘media’ outlets produced a very misleading map which makes it look dire in Oz. Many people have not seen accurate representations.
Yes - I’ve seen some of the maps.
Some are fairly accurate in showing where the fires have been but to make them visible on a continent sized maps, a lot of the smaller fires are shown much larger than they actually are - we do have a few big ones burning but a lot more were quite small.
