Australia fires: Rain finally falls on some bushfires

Australians are celebrating the arrival of much-needed rain in parts of the nation's bushfire-ravaged south-east.

Though more wet weather is needed to end the fires, the rain has brought a welcome reprieve to many areas. Other parts, however, have not been as lucky.

Storms have also helped disperse smoke in Melbourne, which has endured hazardous air quality in recent days.
