Victorian farmers count the cost of fires
30 Jan 2006
Forty eight hours of rain over the weekend has eased the threat posed by the massive Grampians-Mt Lubra fire in Victoria whilst the Moondarra-Erica blaze is still burning out of control as farmers count the cost. The Grampians fire has killed a man and his son, 26 houses and 130,000 hectares of farming land. Seventy five farms have lost stock, including 62,000 sheep, hundreds of cattle and seventy bee hives as well as 22 woolsheds, two tonnes of grain and 400,000 hay bales.
