Title: Bushfire road closures Post by: Brad on February 12, 2009, 12,35:17 AM Folks,
If your heading out check out the Vic Roads web site to see what roads are open. At the moment the Hume and Princess Hwy's are open, other roads may need checking. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/ Brad Title: Re: Bushfire road closures Post by: Tim Dykes on February 12, 2009, 01,09:56 AM This is the current list and at the moment there are a few roads on it.
