Bushfire season is here again

Recent fires in the Diamond Creek area remind us that it’s bushfire season again in Victoria.  However, it’s not just those who live outside cities who need to be careful. Grassfires are also now common in Melbourne’s northern suburbs especially near greenbelts and large grass reserves (e.g. near freeways).

This week’s Diamond Valley Leader (pp12-13) has an excellent guide on what do if:

  • you live on a fenceline next to grassland
  • you live 1 or 2 streets away from grassland OR
  • you live near bush
