"Firefighters are monitoring a grass fire in South Australia's far north-west,
which has burnt about 65,000 hectares.
The fire, near Kalka in South Australia's remote APY Lands, began last Monday
and spread into Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
It has burnt through 65,000 hectares, or 650 square kilometres — more than
twice the size of the country of Malta.
The Country Fire Service said this morning the fire was now under the influence
of a south-westerly wind, pushing it towards the Northern Territory and onto
burnt ground.
The CFS advised travellers to proceed with caution and remain vigilant to
changes in conditions if travelling along the Gunbarrel Highway from Kalka and
Pipalyatjara to the Western Australian border.
CFS regional commander Sindy McCourt said crews had worked with Anangu
traditional owners and APY Land Management to ensure communities in the area
were prepared."
