Hundreds of firefighters in Victoria worked through the night to protect a resort town in the Dandenong Ranges from new bushfires.
Daylesford, about 110km northwest of Melbourne, and surrounding communities were under threaten on Monday night from a fire burning a few kilometres away.
It was fanned by a strong southwesterly breeze.
Daylesford is a popular tourist town, famous for mineral springs. It has a population of 2100.
The death toll from the 7 February fires is now 210.
Four other fires are still out of control in the state.
