Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Three wild bushfires ravaging eastern Australia have joined and are bearing down on Greater Sydney, blanketing the city with smoke.
The Gospers Mountain, Lower Hunter-the Little L Complex and the Paddock Run fires have formed the so-called Mega Blaze that the North South Wales Rural Fire Service said Friday has consumed over 335,000 hectares, coating parts of Sydney in ash and thick smoke.
