We had smoke in Sydney on and off for a few weeks now but at least we not on fire here . There are bushfires ( wildfires to you ) out of control all over from just south of Sydney right down to Victoria . This time of the year there are lots of holiday makers all over the coast and that makes evacuation much more difficult especially with the main highway closed at times . Worse to come to morrow with very high temperatures and low humidity expected . I hope and pray no more lives are lost . We desperately need cooler weather and rain lots of it .
