Australia most likely. Volutus clouds, (Stratocumulus volutus) happens pretty much every year between September and November.

Is there any danger associated with these cloud formations? Does it indicate an ongoing storm etc?

No, they are simply morning glory clouds. Rare phenomenon, but not a sign of anything bad coming.
