Since mid-October 2004, fires have been burning off and on across southeastern Queensland in eastern Australia. Fire bans have been in place across the territory almost since the beginning of the annual fire season on September 1.
Dozens of fires raged in northeastern Australia during the last week of November.
Numerous fires clouded the skies of southern Queensland with smoke on September 26, 2011.
