Farmers in Western Victoria are bracing for years of recovery, as a bushfire rips through the Grampians National Park. 

The fire has been burning out of control for three weeks and razed more than 76 thousand hectares, but has been contained after a cool change and rain swept the state. 

Hundreds of livestock and 12 hundred beehives were also lost.

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Victorian Farmers Federation President Brett Hosking about the situation.
