Wild Fire Hits Mt.Stirling

Nth East Victorian Bushfires
Impacts & Images

Mt.No 3 Road to Carters Road
- The fire crossed Tomahawk Gap and up over Mt.No 3 on Dec 18th burning fiercely around the Western face of the Pinnacle above Merrijig & Sawmill Settlement. Large containment lines were built along Carters Road and the Plain Creek Track. These areas sustained some of the worts fire damage in the district.
