Sandy Creek Road
No new information available apart from a RFS/QPWS control centre being set up at junction of Sandy Creek Road and Fords Road. I'll try for an update later. If anyone has any solid information that needs to be made known to others in the area please feel free to send me an email (see email list message with this information, including my email address).
Southern Wallers Road / Vinegar Hill area
The fire front does not appear to have changed substantially apart from moving further east (against the wind, which continues to be strongly East and Southeast, and is forecast to remain the same into tomorrow), and to the north up the main Lilydale Creek valley.
QPWS will review the situation again this evening and again in the morning, with a view to doing a back burn late tomorrow, unless an unexpected change in the situation necessitates an earlier start.
