On Monday (October 28), firefighters and aircraft continued to work to slow the spread of the fire, while building impact assessment teams were surveying property damage in the area.
It is unconfirmed how many properties had been impacted by the blazes.
Since the Darawank bushfire began on Saturday morning, more than 2693ha has been burned including reports of several structures. The fire has now been downgraded to advice level.
The NSW Rural Fire Service advises people in the area to be aware of burning embers, which may start spot fires ahead of the main fire front. The fire is still producing large amounts of smoke.
Falling trees are also a hazard and on Monday morning a smouldering tree fell on a vehicle travelling on a road in Darawank.
A bushfire burning nearby at Minimbar is being controlled and has so far burnt 3326 hectares, while a fire burning in Crowdy Bay National Park has burnt 20 hectares.
