Dozens of fires will burn across Australia for weeks, fire authorities say, including a "mega-fire", already the size of greater Sydney, that is too big to put out.

At 6am on Sunday there were 96 bush and grass fires in NSW - 47 of which were not contained. Five fires are at a watch and act level.
