Here in Victoria we have experienced large bushfires once again this summer. At least 34 homes have been destroyed. The smoke from the fires has spread right across the state.

Late in the afternoon the southerly wind blows thick smoke through our valley cutting visibility to about 500m. These are two images taken from our backyard which normally has a beautiful view across the valley to the Dandenong Ranges in the distance.
