The bush fires in Australia are the biggest in living memory right now. It seems as if large parts of the north coast of New South Wales is on fire, as well as parts of south-east Queensland.
The effects are being felt in far away New Zealand. The hot air from Australia that has fuelled these fires has kept the temperatures over the South Island unseasonably hot. It's more like a southern hemisphere summer right now, January rather than November. The sky has turned yellow and dust from the fires is settling over the South Island, car owners in Queenstown are having to hose off the ash. I don't know if this has ever happened before.
