The leader of New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian, says "catastrophic" fire conditions have almost completely razed one Australian community.
She said there was "not much left" of the town of Balmoral, south-west of Sydney, where about 400 people live.
Firefighters are struggling to contain bushfires burning across several states amid dry and hot conditions.
