Three emergency-level bushfires joined up in the Hawkesbury region of NSW on Friday, forming a blaze far exceeding the area of greater Sydney, as state emergency services warned that dangerous fire conditions will persist for "months".
More than 100 fires, 74 of them uncontained, were burning across NSW on Friday afternoon, forming a near-continuous line along the coast between the Queensland and southern borders.
