A person has died in a bushfire in Victoria and fires continue to burn out of control across parts of the state as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Premier Jacinta Allan visited some of the devastated areas.
Police said this afternoon that they had found human remains in an area ravaged by the Longwood bushfire.
The person has not been formally identified.

"Police were able to access a fire-affected stretch off Yarck Road at Gobur this afternoon," they said.
"The remains were found around 100m from a vehicle."
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
On Saturday, Victoria Police confirmed the safety of three formerly unaccounted for people missing after their home was destroyed in the same fire.
Three fires are burning at emergency-level in the state: the catastrophic Longwood fire in central Victoria almost two hours from Melbourne, the fire in Walwa in the state's north-east and a fire in the Carlisle River in the Otways around the Great Ocean Road.
Dozens of people have lost their homes, with about 300 structures destroyed, and cattle and wildlife have been killed and injured, including at an animal sanctuary.

Albanese and Allan have seen the devastation first hand and announced a multimillion-dollar relief package.
They visited the small town of Harcourt, which has been devastated.
A combined $19.5 million from the state and commonwealth has been put up to cover counselling, start the clean-up and provide emergency cash.
"This is a one-off, immediate payment of $1000 per eligible adult and $400 per child who've been severely affected," Albanese said.
"We've got your back. Not just during this crisis, but through the recovery as well."
Bianca Hitchens is still coming to grips with the loss of her home of 23 years, one of 47 destroyed in Harcourt along with three businesses.
"It's a nice gesture and it's really appreciated – but what does it get me? What does it get us?" she said.
"I don't need anything, but I need everything."
The place where she raised two children has been razed.
"I feel like everything about me was here, and it's erased. And I feel like I kind of never existed. Everything's gone," she said.
Another 150 were lost in Longwood and 30 more in Natimuk.
Across Victoria, 350 thousand hectares have been burnt.
Allan warned that will increase.
Officials say it'll take weeks to fully understand the extent of the damage with many spots still too dangerous to access even for trained crews.
But it hasn't stopped others trying to pass roadblocks to see it for themselves.
"These are not places for visitors, spectators, tourists," Emergency Management Commissioner Tim Wiebusch said.
"It is wrong to go into these firegrounds where it's unsafe and you don't belong there – and you will be dealt with by Victoria Police," Allan said.
