Authorities are pleading with people living or camping along the Murray River in Victoria's north to stay away from creek and river banks as severe weather again lashes the state.
A cold front moving into the state will see northerly winds continue to strengthen overnight and a severe weather warning for damaging winds is current for southern and mountain districts.
The winds will average around 50–60 kilometres per hour with peak gusts of 90–100kph.
Wind gusts of 89 kilometres per hour at Wilsons Promontory in the state's south-east and 85 kilometres per hour at St Kilda, in inner Melbourne, have already been recorded.
Almost 100 large trees have fallen into the Murray River between Cobram and Yarrawonga, creating hazardous water conditions and a danger that the ground along the river bank may collapse without warning.
