Images shared of koalas drinking water after being rescued from the wildfires have gone viral on social media in recent days. “I get mail from all around the world from people absolutely moved and amazed by our wildlife volunteer response and also by the habits of these curious creatures,” Ley said.

Sydney’s western suburbs reached 41 degrees Celsius , while the inner city is expected to hit 31 C on Sunday before reaching 35 C on Tuesday.Canberra, Australia’s capital, peaked at 38 C on Saturday, with oppressive temperatures forecast for the next seven days.
