The Myall Creek Road fire south of Lismore is back at Emergency Warning Level. The fire is burning in a large area between Bora Ridge in the north and west of the Pacific Highway, north of the Clarence River and in the Summerland Way area. The fire has burnt approximately 40,500 hectares.
At 2.30pm on Friday afternoon, the Moonbi Range, Carrai Creek and Carrai East fires are at Watch and Act.
The Pacific Highway remains closed between Woodburn and Woombah due to a bushfire. Avoid all non-essential travel in the area.
If you need to travel between Grafton and Ballina, use the Gwydir Highway, New England Highway and Bruxner Highway instead. This alternative will add around 3.5 hours extra to your trip, and is not suitable for B-doubles.
