Update: Meads Creek Fire – Dec 11

YESTERDAY the Meads Creek fire alert level increased to Watch and Act due to increasing fire activity in the North-eastern corner near Hamburger Hill, including Flight Springs Road and Turnbridge Road, but by early evening it was downgraded to Advice level. 

Currently the fire is listed as Being Controlled and has burnt through 11,000 hectares of the Goulburn River National Park and some adjoining private property.
