The Grampians fire last night spread between 13,000ha to 28,000 overnight in mild southerlies. This is far beyond what any current fire models will predict.
Terrifying that this is the start of summer.
Thinking of the community at Pomonal, less than a year since they burnt and threatened again.

The state of Victoria is ablaze with fires raging through the Grampians/gariwerd, wombat state forest near Macedon, my home of Creswick and the Gurdies in the south east.
Perfect week for the Environment Minister to approve new monster coal mines and turbo charge climate change.

This is a huge area of some of the most beautiful and special country in the state.
Up in flames.
Hope all walkers on the Peaks Trail got out early.
