Firefighters managed to contain a majority of the 60 bushfires burning across New South Wales after favourable conditions on Sunday.

The Rural Fire Service expects milder temperatures and slight winds to flow into Monday but Tuesday could see more winds.

AAP reports the RFS said only 25 fires were uncontained and not threatening properties.

One major fire is still burning in the Great Lakes area, in forest country near Bulahdelah.
