The path of Sunday's fire near Outram is visible from this aerial photograph as it tracks down the valley towards Woodside (centre right). Outram is at centre left.

Dozens of firefighters and helicopters with monsoon buckets spent most of Sunday battling the scrub fire.

Farmer Michael Harrex thought the fire began after a burn-off from five weeks ago was reignited by strong winds and spread into nearby gorse.
