Southerly has continued bringing thick smoke. Hoping for a northerly change tonight to take some of it away. Driving today was like in thick fog with headlights. We now only have one fire to worry about - that burning across Buffalo which will come this way with a north wind. We'll just have to wait and see. A northerly is predicted for tomorrow and thursday. Other than that all is blissfully calm with lovely twinkling lights all over the mountains from the countless little fires burning. Very Xmas. This Xmassy feeling is tempered by the crash of a falling tree in the burnt forest every few minutes - the vibrations of some of them can be felt through the ground. I watched one of them fall this arvo close by - first a huge CRACK and then it dropped, shaking the ground under my feet.
The fires moving away to the nth/east towards Wandiligong and Bright.
Our own version of Xmas fairy lights on the western slopes above us.
