There were many fires in the bushfire tragedy that became known as "Ash Wednesday" in Victoria and South Australia in February 1983. Therefore, there was no single cause. Factors which contributed to the fires were arson, lightning strikes, and strong wind gusts which caused electrical wires to clash (or the branches of trees to hit the wires), sparking bushfires.
