Together, we've been through a lot lately.
This #AustraliaDay we want to recognise all who have worked so hard to protect communities.
And we want to thank everyone for supporting one another when times are tough.
Let's celebrate what makes Australia great.

A big thank you to @Qantas for housing our 737 LAT today at Sydney Airport to give her a much-needed mechanical check and clean.
'Marie Bashir' has completed 442 drops so far this season, which equates to over 6million litres of water, gel & retardant!

The famous sails of the @SydOperaHouse have been lit up in a special tribute tonight. While there have been many people, agencies and groups involved in the bush fire effort, there is special recognition for #NSWRFS volunteers who have given up their time to help others.

We're seeing an increase in #bushfire risk as the strong southerly change continues to make its way north through the night. The gusty #winds may make local fire behaviour erratic as they hit the different blazes. @NSWRFS ow.ly/vvLH50xS197

#AustraliaFires misinformation is being spread through social media.
