Bush Fires

[JeffH]

In recent days I travelled through Tenterfield and Glen Innes areas, saw some fire damage (not as much as I expected) and, judging from regrowth, not very recent. A lot of that New England area was very green, suggesting recent rains. There were some heavy showers in Guyra when we were there but nobody was complaining.
I suspect the recent fires were not where we would have seen them from the highway. Plenty of smoke though.
On Monday, returning home we drove through ground level cloud and after Armidale segued into smoke -the outlook on the horizon looked similar but the smarting eyes and absence of moisture on the windscreen told otherwise.
