Festivalgoers at a music festival in Victoria’s Grampians have been told to leave amid the extreme heat and fire danger, while those who haven’t yet arrived are being urged to delay travel “until further notice”.
“If you are arriving on Saturday we recommend delaying your arrival until further notice,” the post read. The festival had organised free shuttle buses running from Pitch to Ararat station on Saturday, for those wishing to leave. Organisers said they were working closely with authorities and that there were no active fires in the region.
“We have only seen three consecutive days of above 38C in Melbourne three times during March in the past 100 years,” Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Lincoln Trainor said. Hobart is expected to reach at least 35C on Saturday, and may break its minimum March temperature record of 21.1C on Sunday, Trainor said. There will be relief for King Island on Sunday but that’s not expected to flow through to the rest of the state until Tuesday.
