Terrible to see such widescale damage.

@Neptune6's second picture and the smoke-filled sky over Auckland, some 1,200mi (2,000km) away in New Zealand partially show how bad it is.

That said, some of the images circulating around the internet are false. 10.7m hectares or approximately 1.5% of Australia's landmass burnt does not need any exacerbation.

For an idea of the scale of the fires, the Guardian has an interactive map which you can superimpose the total area affected over a handful of cities:
