They're doing a hazard reduction burn on 23 Hectares of bush today - which is excellent because that will help prevent a dangerous bushfire later in the summer - but the wind is coming from the WNW, so those of us who are downwind of it are coughing our lungs out.
@DyDave I know how it feels , I was caught between two big wildfires and the smoke was terrible.
Yeah it can be very bad, especially when they're not under control like this one is. It's - sadly - a regular fact of life around here whether it's deliberate burning like this one or an uncontrolled bushfire. The cost of sharing life with nice bushland.
We haven't had a really bad fire season since 2019, and there's been a heap of rain since then to water the bush, so we're probably due 🤷♂️
@DyDave yes , we are due .
