| Authorities fear conditions will be as bad as New Year's Eve. |
There are also grave fears dry lightning could start new fires across parts of New South Wales and Victoria that haven't already been devastated over recent days.
Temperatures in parts of each state will reach into the 40s, with Albury-Wodonga expected to hit a maximum of 46 degrees Celsius.
The Navy yesterday evacuated around 1,000 residents and holidaymakers from the East Gippsland town of Mallacoota, after fire razed parts of the town on New Year's Eve.
