AUSTRALIA – NATIONAL BUSHFIRE – TOWN #Gallery

CANBERRA, Jan. 10, 2020 (Xinhua) — The road from Braidwood to Batemans Bay is blocked in Braidwood in the southeast of Australia, Jan. 8, 2020. If without the bushfires, Braidwood in the southeast of Australia would have been busy at this time of the year, greeting tourists going to the beach of Batemans Bay. But the bushfires on New Year’s Eve that had burned down houses and stranded holidaymakers in the tourism destination 45 kilometers away not only took a toll on local economy, but also cast a shadow over people’s life there.
