Warning issued for eastern Vic fire

An emergency warning has been issued for a community in far-eastern Victoria as an out-of-control bushfire burns in the area.

The CFA says the fast-moving bushfire is travelling in a easterly direction towards Club Terrace, near Mallacoota.

Club Terrace and the surrounding area could be hit anytime within the next one to two hours, a warning message issued at 1.40pm (AEDT) on Friday says.

Spot fires and ember attacks are expected and leaving now is the safest option, the CFA says.

The Princes Highway between Orbost and Cann River is expected to close soon.

Relief centres have been set up in Orbost and Cann River.
