They are terrible...Jen..We had them up here in Sydney area last weekend and
the first day or two of this week as well.. As bad as they were it was
nothing like what you are experiencing down in Victoria...

I have a friend who lives in Ballarat ..How far is that from the fires
?...She has smoke and haze and smells of the bushfires.. An elderly lady who
only lost her husband 1 year ago..I feel for her ....

What part of Victoria are you living in ..Jen ?
