Note:
During the World War II drought (1937–1945) catastrophic bushfires destroyed the forests of Melbourne, including the area of Warrandyte. On Friday 13 January 1939 the Royal Commission into the fires reported it appeared the whole State was alight. Strong winds fanned several fires into a massive fire front, which swept over the alpine country in the north-east of Victoria, and along the coast in the south-west. Large areas of state forest including precious stands of giant Mountain Ash were killed. The threat of fire in the Yarra Valley is likely to become a more frequent summer event in the future. This increase in fire weather due to higher temperatures and reduced rainfall has the potential to permanently change our forests. For example, drier forest types will replace the unique Mountain Ash forests to the north east of Melbourne if the fires return too frequently than more temperate species can handle. (Climarte)
