A body bag containing a bushfire victim lies next to a police car near the site of a destroyed house at Steels Creek, about 46 km (29 miles) northeast of Melbourne, February 11, 2009. The rising death toll in Australia's deadliest bushfires now stands at 181, but could exceed 200, authorities say. If deaths in the town of Marysville are confirmed, the toll may reach 300.
