The large slow-moving fire is travelling in a westerly direction, and is still out of control.
It has now grown to over 32,500 hectares.

Community Meetings to discuss the fire efforts are being held at Cavendish, Balmoral and Dunkeld. Relief Centres have been established at Hamilton and Balmoral.
The Henty Highway remains closed between the Brimpaen-Laharum Road and Mooralla. Diversions are in place at Horsham and Cavendish.
