Caution still urged as fires ease

Warnings have been downgraded for fires burning in multiple states but emergency services are urging caution as hot, gusty conditions continue.

A grassfire in central Victoria's Willowmavin was burning out of control on Saturday evening but an emergency warning for residents to take shelter had been downgraded to advice level.

More than 30 emergency units were fighting a blaze in Willomavin, between Lancefield and Kilmore, north of Melbourne on Saturday afternoon.

Tasmania Fire Service has declared a total ban for the entire state from Sunday.

"I urge every member of the community to help our firefighting agencies by complying with the fire ban and if you've had a fire in the past week, please check it now to ensure it is fully extinguished," State Fire Commander Matt Lowe said.

Watch-and-act warnings are in place, with residents in Tikkawoppa told to prepare to leave, while those in Pieman Heads and Conical Rocks have been urged to take shelter.

"If you're in the areas of Tikkawoppa or Pieman Heads, Colonial Rocks and surrounds, it is imperative you follow the directions given for your area, review your bushfire survival plan now and prepare to take action to stay safe," Cmdr Lowe said.

Water-bombing is continuing at the fires in the state's west and northwest, which have burned 94,000 hectares of forest and world heritage areas since dry lightning sparked multiple blazes in early February.

"Our three fire agencies are continuing to work together in a dedicated inter-agency response to the complex of fires on the state's west coast, and over the coming days they will monitor for any potential outbreaks," Lowe said.

An emergency warning is also in place for a bushfire burning in South Australia's Paris Creek, with those in the area urged to leave immediately.

Flying car ‘does work, does exist’

The concept of flying cars has long been a mainstay in imaginings of the future, and Alef Aeronautics believes it is one step closer to making that future a reality. The California based company has released videos showing their flying car, an ultralight version of the Alef Model Zero, taking off vertically and travelling over a parked truck. “This is the first publicly released video of a car driving and taking off vertically,“ the company said.

Reason ‘lazy’ teens can’t get up for school

Laziness may not be behind Australian teenagers’ chronic sleepiness despite one-third of parents believing the myth. New research by The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne has shed light on the incorrect stereotypes facing sleep-deprived students.  Paediatrician and director of RCH’s National Child Health Poll Dr Anthea Rhodes said natural changes to teenager’s internal body clocks are the more likely reason for nightly woes than bad habits alone.  ”The body clock, or diurnal rhythm does shift, which means your natural hormones are more stimulated into the evening, and you’re wired to want to stay up later,“ she said.  ”Then, because teenagers still need a large amount of sleep due to growing and developing a lot and their brains changing, they generally end up needing to sleep in.“ Doctors labelled other factors such as inconsistent bedtimes, screen use before bed and caffeine as all contributing to difficulty getting to sleep.

Stranded whales can’t be saved

Marine experts have given up hope of rescuing more than 150 false killer whales that stranded on a remote beach in Tasmania. Experts including veterinarians were at the scene on Wednesday near Arthur River on Tasmania’s northwestern coast where 157 whales were discovered on an exposed surf beach on Tuesday afternoon, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said. Unfavourable ocean and weather conditions, which prevented the whales from being rescued on Wednesday, were forecast to persist for days, incident controller Shelley Graham said.
