Talk:Flowerdale, Victoria

Bushfire
The town is not destroyed. The pub, school and village hall were saved by local heros. 20% of the houses remain and the town will rebuild. It still remains one of the ten best fishing spots in Victoria. Support the local community by going for a beer at the Flowerdale Hotel, Flowerdale resident Above comment from [[User:89.124.164.140 moved from article - Melburnian (talk) 00:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC)]]

I live in Hazeldene, the next town up from Flowerdale, in Murrindindi. Flowerdale lost 4 houses in the bushfires. Hazeldene lost over 200. Please ensure all towns are included and that you have the facts right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.53.151 (talk) 15:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

February 2023 grassfire / arson?
Started this Tuesday.

Was expected to stop Thursday. [Watch and Act and then Emergency and Watch and Act again]

Now anticipated to be controlled Saturday.

Lots of civil losses and suspected criminal charge against a 71-year-old man

 * A big relief as I read this article
 * https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/fire-conditions-escalate-as-flowerdale-blaze-continues-to-burn-20230223-p5cmv9.html
 * There was a lot going on with dry weather and farm machinery.
 * The gentleman (Sangster) takes full responsibility for what happened.
 * VicEmergency says that the 2023 fire was not deliberately lit.
 * The article says that a lot of people in the outer suburbs of Melbourne may smell smoke all evening and night.
