Twenty-eight firefighters are still working on the fire, which caused the evacuation of 100 homes on Tuesday.
All residents are now back in their houses, while ground crews work on hot spots.
Incident controller Rory Renwick said in a Facebook video that fire fighters were having to cut tracks through the bush to get to the hot spots on very steep terrain.
Hot spots on the perimeter caused the most concern, as there was a risk they could break away into unburnt areas and cause the fire to spread, Renwick said.
