We've just had a day of wild weather, with the temperature here up to 34C and howling gales feeding new bushfires (with thick dust haze in the morning). An afternoon cool change cleared the dust and gave a view of the smoke from a large fire only 20km away and out of control in rugged country. It will be interesting to see how things develop over coming days until it can be controlled.
UPDATE: I've now added 2 PiPs, taken on the morning of 28 Nov, when the smoke drifted our way. Late PM 29/11 - The fire is now about 4800 Ha and seems to be contained. Unfortunately a much worse fire has developed about 70km away, covers over 19000 Ha, is out of control and threatening residential areas.

Good luck, George. Your picture looks quite gentle and calm compared to what we know is the reality. All we can say is "take care".

These seem to be extraordinarily bad from the news reports. Saw one that said 80% of Koala habitat had been destroyed. Hope you are not affected.

I hope the wild fires are under control soon George. It must be very frightening when it appears so near!

So many fires in Australia and California. Flooding in Venice and in England. Governments don't seem to be acting. I hope you and your family are safe.

Many thanks for all your comments. Unfortunately we are in a major drought and the fires are likely to be an ongoing issue for quite some time, with new ones developing even when some are contained. The fires causing the smoke here are still going strongly but not an immediate threat to houses or people. I shall keep the "UPDATE" current while the nearby fires are burning.
