What areas were affected by the black Saturday bushfires?

• Marysville
• Kinglake

• Coleraine

The fires began on 7 February 2009, and continued for almost five weeks. On 12 March Victorian authorities announced that the last of the worst bushfires which caused the most death and devastation were under control. However, smaller fires continued, controlled, for many months after that.
