As I'm sure most of you know Australia has been hit by bushfires for the last few months. You most likely have noted the smoke in the sky!
I live in Canberra (the Capital City). Whilst I haven't been directly affected, in recent weeks we have had smoke pollution (the worst in the world), hot weather (temperatures above 40c - that's 104f), drought but absurdly we had hail - golf ball size driven by strong winds - 1000's of cars were damaged and many written off.
And over the past week we have had fires close by. They moved about 30Km away on the weekend.
This photo was in the local paper.
I don't know who owned it but Limited Slip (a member of this forum) lives down that way. Hope its not his.
