Black Friday (1939) 3
Effects
The most damage was felt in the mountain and alpine areas in the northeast and around the southwest coast. The Acheron, Tanjil and Thomson Valleys and the Grampians, were also hit. Five townships – Hill End, Narbethong, Nayook West, Noojee, Woods Point – were completely destroyed and not all were rebuilt afterwards. The towns of Omeo, Pomonal, Warrandyte (though this is now a suburb of Melbourne, it was not in 1939) and Yarra Glen were also badly damaged.
Around the same time, mid January, bushfires burnt through the Adelaide Hills, precipitated by the same heatwave. Ash from the fires fell as far away as New Zealand. The fires came under control two days later, when rain fell on the night of Sunday the 15th. makita 2012nb black friday hitachi brad nailer poulan pro 400e black friday ar blue clean black friday deals hand held blower g shock black friday tablet computers black friday playbook blackberry black friday asus eee slate black friday tablet sony black friday vizio 8 tablet black friday
