More Smoke Haze
and more to come
The largest fire front is over 240kms long. Melbourne is blanketed by a thick haze of smoke. The smell of burning is everywhere. There are fires across most states now - Western Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales all have vast areas burning. I'm seriously considering buying a mask for cycling.
Tasting notes: Redhouse 2004 Shiraz Grenache: Poisoning rats with this would be illegal on cruelty grounds. Pour me another glass, everything tastes of burnt eucalyptus anyway.
