Police have urged anyone with information to come forward after flames destroyed a hatchback in California Gully.
Fire crews and police have blocked off a section of Jobs Gully Road near Bright Street and are stopping the fire relighting in a creek a short way away.
No-one was in the car - thought to have been a red Mazda hatchback - when it caught fire.
Police are hunting for as many as two people thought to have driven the car into the small nature reserve along Jobs Creek and seen leaving the scene on foot.
"We have a vehicle that has been deliberately lit on fire," Bendigo sergeant Matt Ormston said.
Multiple fire crews remain on scene to stop the car reigniting.
