Homes lost in Queensland, Australia, bushfires
The two other fires of concern are a huge blaze near the border towns of Applethorpe and Stanthorpe, and a bushfire in hard terrain near Binna Burra in the Scenic Rim.
Water bombers are being used to subdue the blaze as ground crews desperately try to get on top of the fire which has so far consumed 11 homes.
At least 17 homes were lost - 10 in Sarabah and seven in Stanthorpe - with one family flown to safety by helicopter after becoming trapped on their hinterland property.
There has also been significant livestock losses.
A fire has also ignited in far north Queensland near where a house was razed on Thursday, near Mareeba, but is not threatening homes at this stage.
There had been additional than 80 fires burning at just one position on Monday and there are fireplace bans across most of the tinder-dry condition.
