Victoria is one of the most fire-prone areas in the world with high risk native bush, grassland and coastal scrub areas.
Bush, grass and coastal scrub fires can occur without warning, are unpredictable and can quickly impact your holiday destination.
Stay aware of the Fire Danger Rating for the area you are in - Cape Bridgewater is in the South West Region. Also find out if there is a Total Fire Ban on the day and the implications for your planned activities, particularly around barbecues and campfires.
When travelling, listen to local radio for reports on weather and fire activity in the area. Also watch for fire and smoke. Don't drive through heavy smoke as the loss of visibility could result in an accident.
Don't drive into long grass as the car's hot exhaust could start a fire.
Victoria has a lot to offer and with a few simple precautions, your visit should be safe and enjoyable.
