Armidale is currently enveloped in a thick brown smoke haze like nothing I've seen before. The unpleasant conditions have been caused by a huge bush-fire in the Macleay Gorge east of Armidale and it has been fanned by strong easterly winds. The fire, which is located in remote and difficult terrain, is apparently now under control, but it has burnt out no less than 32,000 ha (79,000 acres). For my UK readers, this amounts to a huge area. Fortunately, Armidale is in no risk of burning to the ground!
