TWO fires burnt out of control north of Port Macquarie on Tuesday.
Port Macquarie Independent reader Steve Wise sent these pictures in, which shows the fire at North Shore, near Maria River Road.
There was also a blaze at Telegraph Point.
The fires were still burning yesterday when the Independent went to press, although the NSW Rural Fire Service said they were under control.
Much of the Hastings was covered in smoke yesterday as a result.
