The Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) are offering members of the public a chance to see first hand the impact of the Great Divide Fires. Two bus tours of the fire-affected areas have been organised for the Erica region and for the Heyfield/Licola region.

The tours will take visitors through townships threatened by the fires and forested areas that were severely impacted. Several stops along the way will incorporate themes such as fuel reduction burning, impact on wildlife, fire threat to townships and fire-fighting operations. Expert speakers will share their knowledge along the way and answer any questions members of the public may have.

The Heyfield tour is on Sunday, 3 June and will depart from the DSE office in Heyfield at 9am and return by 2pm. Lunch will be provided. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children. Proceeds will be donated to bushfire recovery efforts.
