Sat 9 December 2006 - Where there’s smoke

Smoke has descended on Melbourne, from the bushfires elsewhere in the state.

Down in the shopping centre this morning, the haze over the street was noticeable. Marita commented on how bad it was.

“Yeah”, I replied. “It’s like a mix of smoke and fog… they really should have a word for that.”

Later I had to drive over the Bolte Bridge. Here’s the view of the city from there:

I can only imagine what those fighting the fires are going through, and I tip my hat to them.
