A child has been struck and killed by a falling tree branch in Victoria's north.
The primary school-aged boy was with his family on a private property at Gowangardie, near Shepparton when he was found injured just before 8am on Thursday, Victoria Police said.
He died at the property from his injuries, which police said were caused when a large branch fell from a tree.
Officers will prepare a report for the coroner.
Wild weather has lashed Victoria in recent days, with three people dying during storms in the state over the Christmas break.
The bodies of a man and a woman were found at Buchan in the state's east after a camping area was hit with flash flooding on Boxing Day.
Earlier on Tuesday, a 44-year-old Bunyip man was killed after a branch fell on his property in Caringal, eastern Victoria.
A 29-year-old woman had to be rescued from the Werribee River in Melbourne after jumping in to save her dog.
She managed to pull the pet onto a small island and clung to a tree until a passerby called emergency services for help.
Much of the weather and flood threat for the state has passed but people have been warned to stay vigilant around waterways.
