No relief yet from devastating bushfires in rural Queensland.

More than 50 homes have been burnt down in Tara, about 300 kilometres west of Brisbane- and two people have died.

Conditions are expected to worsen tomorrow, with gusty winds and temperatures topping 40 degrees.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says they don't have exact numbers on how many homes have been destroyed.

"Because they haven't been able to send assessment teams out to other parts of the fire ground, there could be dozens more. We simply don't know at this point."
