just yesterday the toll sat at a devastating 35. now Victoria looks at a unspeakable total of 108.
The death toll was updated from the previous figure of 93 released by police at 2am, but DSE spokesman Geoff Russell was unable to say where the bodies had been found.
Mr Russell said conditions this morning had improved from the weekend with a cooler change coming through with moist air.
A southerly wind is pushing fires in a north to northeasterly direction.
"Our biggest concern at the moment is around Beechworth,'' Mr Russell said.
The fire has skirted Beechworth and is heading towards Yackandandah.
"There are seven or eight small settlements in the path of this fire and those residents have been urged to get their fire plans underway,'' Mr Russell said.
