Thanks Phil, like a lot of areas we have been living with continuous heavy smoke for over a week now (P2 masks outside). I live in the southern tablelands NSW, a bit Nth of Canberra. The south Easterlies are causing some local concern, was 44c yesturday but cooled of significantly today. Trouble is lack of water, my dams are near dry, have a bore that I pump to a turkey nest dam(20m head/gravity feed) use for sprays at tow of hill by house and for hose. Been moving water around to better position myself and have 400l tank and pump on trailer. Just need to keep a look out.
The Adaminaby complex and Tumit fires are of interest. Few around us so hard to predict with the south and north easterlies about.
