Editing Kinglake National Park (section)

==History==
The area was logged in the early part of the 20th century, and some remnants of logging remain (such as scars on some trees and a sawdust dump).<ref name="Kinglake">{{cite web|publisher=Parks Victoria|title=Kinglake National Park|url=https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/kinglake-national-park|access-date=15 April 2009 }}</ref>

In January 2006, parts of the park to the north of the {{VICcity|Kinglake}} township were devastated by a bushfire started by lightning during a severe thunderstorm. The blaze threatened to engulf the town, advancing to within a few hundred metres of the northern fringe. The town was saved by further thunderstorms, along with [[Country Fire Authority]] volunteers. In 2009 98% of the national park was severely burnt by the devastating Black Saturday bushfires. Much of the town of Kinglake was destroyed and nearly a hundred people died. As of 2010, rehabilitation work is continuing and sections of the park are gradually being reopened.<ref name=PV/>
