Part of the burn will be on and around the Great Dividing Trail - Goldfields Track.

There will be burn notices adjacent to the prescribed burn areas.

Depending on weather conditions, it will occur some time between mid-September to November.

The burn area will be opposite St Georges Lake, Creswick, in between Old Melbourne Road and Slaty Creek No.1 Camping Ground.
It will include the area around Portuguese Pit and Blue Waters, adjacent to Old Melbourne Road.
Also the area between Old Melbourne Road, Slaty Creek Road, Humbug Road and Lincoln Gully Road, including the Selkirks area.
