"It's been an amazing few days. We had our hottest day ever up there last week and then the snow," said Mt Baw Baw's visitor services manager, Sally Brooks.Ms Brooks left the mountain on Saturday night after an evacuation order was issued. "There was quite a bit of fire activity — we had a trail festival up there at the time, lots of people running, so it was quite an evacuation," she said.
"We totally understand that and are very supportive of all the emergency crews that have been involved.
So did it put out the fires - praying it did 🙏
They say it like its unusual in this country 😂
Poor ABC is confused, it forgets weather still happens.
