Australia bushfires: Canberra suffers despite the rain and cash boost

The Southeast of Australia received some respite recently when the fire-ravaged area of the country saw some rain and cooler conditions.
The second day of light drizzle and mild winds brought some welcome relief from the heatwave-fueled bush fires that tore through two states over the weekend.
Officials, though, warned of complacency as the hazardous weather conditions could return later in the week.
The relief afforded to some areas was not so evident in Canberra as it saw its air quality remain at a dangerous level due to smoke from the fires in the region.
