Ah... yes. So two colleagues drove from Coffs to Sydney and had plentiful of de-tours and didn’t drive past any fires on the side of the highways let alone through towns such as this one:

You’d be surprised what these fires can do!
More hectares of land were and still are on fire compared to the recent Amazon fires and California.
Luckily I couldn’t get on my flight to Coffs as they were cancelled in and out.GG: "I'm stinky! I needa good shower and nice bowl of pasta!"

I am perfectly aware of what these fires can do - and did.
Was the road from Sydney to Coffs closed in places? Yes.
Were their fires alongside the road. Yes.
Were flights into Coffs cancelled? Yes.
Were residents advised to leave their homes and stay in evacuation centres. Yes.
Did some residents very sadly lose their homes to the flames. Yes.
Were 'some towns they drove through and past to drive south towards Sydney destroyed by the fires'? No. Thankfully.

We live on the east coast of the South Island of NZ, about 2500 - 3000km away from the bush fire area of Australia. We are separated by just under 2000km of sea and the Southern Alps of NZ. This morning our sky is full of smoke and you can smell the burnt Bluegum smell in the air. Those fires are still burning wild.
Things happen for reasons, not excuses.
