In New South Wales a man was missing in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney after towns in the area were hit by an ember 
attack - when burning vegetation is blown ahead of the main blaze and starts new fires.

However the southerly winds later eased and by Saturday evening six fires in the state were deemed to be at emergency 
level - the second highest level of danger after catastrophic - including two near Sydney.

New South Wales leader Gladys Berejiklian urged Christmas travellers to delay their journeys.

"We are asking everybody not to travel on roads anywhere near the vicinity of an active fire unless you absolutely have to," 
she said.

In Victoria, authorities said 142 fires had started in the state since Friday. One of these was burning at an emergency level by 
Saturday afternoon.

What is driving the fires?
A combination of temperatures above 40C, low humidity and strong winds have worsened the struggle for the 3,000 
emergency personnel mobilised to deal with the bushfires in NSW.

"We are in a period of unbelievable drought and some areas haven't seen rain for more than 12 months", NSW Rural Fire 
Services Inspector Ben Shepherd told the BBC.

"These fires are likely to continue to spread well past Christmas", he added.
