That is incorrect...Kinglake won that unfortunate title
Quoted from News.com.au
Quote:
The largest of the fires, known as the Kinglake Complex, has consumed 220,000ha of land and more than 550 homes and has killed 140 confirmed victims - including those at St Andrews, Strathewen and nearby Kinglake.
Thirty-five people perished at Kinglake - the greatest single loss of life in these fires - when a ferocious wall of flame swept straight up the heavily timbered Great Dividing Range, taking all in its path.
