Vic: Firefighters continue to battle high country blazes

About a thousand Victorian firefighters are still battling more than 50 blazes in the
state's high country.

A spokesman for the Department of Sustainability and Environment says the largest fires
are at Mount Cynthia .. north-west of Dargo .. and at Mount Terrible near Kerington ..

but no property is in danger.

Yesterday authorities asked campers and day trippers to leave Victoria's Upper Goulburn
Valley because of the fires .. sparked by lightning strikes on Friday.
