MALLACOOTA WAITS

A mother took this photo. Her two primary school aged sons are in the boat with her. They're out on the Mallacoota lake trying to stay safe from fire, it doesn't look like it but it's daytime.

Around 4000 people are gathered at the Mallacoota boat ramp. Waiting to see how close the fire will come.

It's been confirmed some homes around Mallacoota have been lost.
