Too late to leave: Victoria bushfires continue

10:38 AEDT The massive bushfire at Victoria's Grampians National Park has continued to burn for almost 10 days, and is now over 74,000 hectares in size, 15 times larger than it was late last week.  Roads have been closed, firefighters are struggling to control the blaze, and locals in the southeast section of the national park were advised that it is too late to leave and to take shelter as of 7am Friday.
