> there’s not a good whole-of-Australia map

This one (from WA) covers the whole country, and shows a) where the fire fronts and b) what's been burnt. This website is actually linked to in the main article (MyFireWatch):

https://myfirewatch.landgate.wa.gov.au/

It's also the one that ends up being doctored then played around social media.

As a 'side note' though, the article mentions:

> In contrast to MyFireWatch maps (left), blue symbols on New South Wales Rural Fire Service maps (right) give 'Advice' warnings, indicating no immediate danger

This is blatantly misleading. Blue means there are fires still active in the area, the MyFireWatch shows exactly where those active fires are. And personal experience has shown that Blue can become Yellow and then Red within a space of 10 minutes.
