Heyfield/Licola Region
The Great Divide Fires December 2006 – February 2007 Heyfi eld/Licola Region Self-guided Drive Suggested Itinerary During the summer of 2006/07, Victoria’s ongoing drought had contributed to conditions conducive to the outbreak of fi res. Early in summer multiple lightning strikes ignited fi res across mountains in eastern Victoria. A combination of dry conditions, high temperatures and strong winds resulted in the fi res spreading and eventually combining to form a large single fi re complex. The amalgamated fi re came to be known as the Great Divide Fire. It was to become one of Victoria’s largest and longest lasting fi res. The initial fi res began on December 1 2006. It was not until 69 days later, on February 7 2007, that the fi res were contained within a controlled perimeter. A total of 1,116,408 hectares in the Great Dividing Range was affected by the fi re, with 677,782 hectares burnt in Gippsland. Multi-agency fi re fi ghting crews, members of the community and even personnel from Canada, New Zealand and the USA, worked tirelessly under demanding conditions to protect townships, private and public resources and agricultural assets. Introduction Stop 1: Township of Licola This self-guided drive gives visitors a chance to see the impact of The community of Licola is one of many towns that were directly the one of Victoria’s largest and longest lasting fi res – The Great threatened by the fi res. The fi re got very close to the town and Divide Fire. The drive will take you through the Heyfi eld/Licola reached many of the surrounding properties.

Stretton Group
Stretton Group Fire - Flood - Mud - Water Wednesday, May 28, 2008 Luncheon Seminar: 12 noon – 2:00pm Morgans at 401 401 Collins Street, Melbourne Following the 2003 fires which devastated about 2 million hectares of the Murray Darling Snowy River Catchments – the relationship between fire and water has never been more starkly demonstrated. In 2006/2007 fires in North-East Victoria and Gippsland created a similar catastrophe in another 1 million hectares of those water catchments. In the Macalister Valley, the Glenmaggie Weir filled rapidly with floodwater and debris. Licola and essential infrastructure was wiped out by flood and mud-slides. Floods were of huge proportions as a result of the rain falling on forested catchments which had been stripped bare of all protective vegetation by intense bushfires in December 2006. These floods washed millions of tonnes of topsoil into the Macalister River and its headwaters. The key policy question facing all urban populations, including the 4 million inhabitants of Melbourne, is what will happen to your water if the catchment is devastated by a hot intense bushfire, as was the case in Gippsland in 2006/2007. Speakers: Rob Gilder, Licola farmer (Gippsland) Professor David Dunkerley, Monash University, Landscape Water and Runoff 2 About the Stretton Group The Stretton Group is an apolitical, not-for-profit group established in December 2003 following the disastrous south east Australian bushfire crisis in 2002/3. The Stretton Group comprises a disparate association of volunteers who support the protection of the natural environment through greater transparency of the public sector processes involved. Named after the respected Royal Commissioner into 1939 Victorian Bushfires, Justice Leonard Stretton, the group proposes that government managed national parks and forests should be provided with a balance sheet value which encapsulates the environmental, cultural and economic value of these assets.
