I would like to hope that people hvae already left



Thousands of campers across Victoria are being ordered to pack up and leave ahead of catastrophic fire conditions on Friday. (https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1278194637676627&set=pb.100064583086361.-2207520000)

Holiday parks and riverfront campgrounds - including sites along the Goulburn and Murray rivers, Lake Eildon, the Grampians and the Great Ocean Road - are among those affected.

Forest Fire Management Victoria has warned that people must be out before 7am, stressing that it will not be survivable to shelter if a fire hits.

Large areas of public land will close, with rangers patrolling today and tomorrow to direct people to leave.

"It is not survivable if you are caught in a bushfire under those conditions," said Forest Fire Management Victoria chief Chris Hardman.

"You will be killed before the fire gets to you under these conditions." See less
