Queensland bushfire forces mass evacuation from Gracemere

Nearly all residents have fled the central Queensland town of Gracemere after authorities issued a state of emergency as a fast-moving and dangerous bushfire burnt toward the town.

• Catastrophic fire threat declared for Capricornia, Central Highlands and Coalfields

And this is why people are being urged to evacuate from Gracemere to Rockhampton. That wall of flames is dangerous. #qldfires @abcbrisbane pic.twitter.com/cgarcV3k13
