Tonights news is even worse with many more being found in cars and small buses.

A lot of these people are up in the hill area with one road up and the fires turned so quickly they were trapped.

My wife's cousin lives in Kinglake next to the general store. The store was burned down along with her home and the one next door. She was away, but has told her family the neighbours and their children are missing.

It looks as if the toll will be very high.
