Snow has fallen just kilometres away from one of several bushfires which continue to burn across Victoria.
An alert remained late on Wednesday for a damaging blaze in Bunyip State Park, east of Melbourne, as firefighters battled 23 fronts across the state.
Further northeast of the capital, snow fell at Mt Baw Baw, not far from a near 6400-hectare fire.
Overall cooler conditions reduced the bushfire threat to towns and farmland, some of which have been on stand by since Friday, burning some 60,000 hectares of land.
The Bunyip fire has claimed nine homes with another two lost at Yinnar, in central Gippsland, with 23 other buildings damaged or destroyed.
As fire crews survey the damage across Victoria's east, the number of buildings razed by bushfires is expected to grow.
The weather outlook is a mixed bag for firefighters.
"Despite some rain, there is some concern because there are windy conditions forecast in the coming days," a State Control Centre spokesman told AAP.
Bunyip is due to be windy with tops of 24C and 25C in the next two days, the Bureau of Meteorology warns.
Wilsons Promontory National Park is shut until further notice with campers and visitors over the Labor Day long weekend told to go elsewhere, Parks Victoria states.
The fires have sparked evacuations, and the state government has already paid financial assistance to 152 people, totalling more than $350,000.
Relief payments of up to $540 per adult or $270 per child are available for eligible households to put towards accommodation, food and clothing.
Community relief centres are still operating at Pakenham, Drouin, Bairnsdale, Morwell and Sale, while a recovery centre has been established in the Bunyip showground.
