The Wye River bushfire, also known as the Jamieson Track fire, struck Victoria's Great Ocean Road region during the 2015-16 fire season.
It began on 19 December when lightning sparked two bushfires in the Otway Ranges. Over the following weeks, the fire burned approximately 2,500 hectares.
Despite the extensive damage, there were no fatalities, thanks to timely evacuations and the efforts of emergency services. However, more than 100 homes in Wye River and Separation Creek were lost.
