Mt Buller Fire Update 7

Hi All,

 Just as we thought it was safe on the mountain, nature throws it straight back.

Just recieved a call from Gabby who, in turn, has just had a chat to Caroline after her shift had ended moments ago.

The fires are currently burning around Family Run, Wombat run, Grimus’ Chair, Howqua and Fanny’s Finish. The fires are being fought via Aircraft and whatever road access available. Obviously the main concerns are the chair lifts and structures around those areas and preventing the fires from moving towards the village.

The Mt Buller Tourist Road is still open to the public, although this can change at any moment. The Emergency services are strongly recommending against travelling to the area.

I guess it’s fortunate that there’s not alot of vegetation past the summit, except grass, heading towards the Village so hopefully the fire dies a quick death.

I will post any further news as it comes to hand.

Cheers

Amelia
