Bushfires have been burning in Victoria (Autralia) for the past few weeks, particularly bad in Victoria's east in the Gippsland and mountain regions that make up the snowfields in winter.

Smoke from the fires has even drifted all the way to Melbourne blocking out the sun for days.

These photographs were taken two days ago in the middle of the fires in Bairnsdale in Victoria's East Gippsland.

The sky is lit up red from the flames reflecting on the smoke and ash in the air giving a picture that could only be described as hell on Earth.
