The Bunyip State Park fire in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia, started on Friday 1 March by a cluster of slow moving thunderstorms that produced over 28,000 lightning strikes of which, just over 2,000 made contact with the ground. On Saturday morning, the fire was around 900 Ha in size, but after becoming plume dominant with pronounced pyroconvection on Saturday and Sunday, coupled with a wind change late Sunday, has grown to over 14,000 Ha as of the afternoon of Monday 4 March.
