Smoke Concerns

Smelling smoke? - wondering where its coming from ? Some idea can be gained by checking  exactly where the wind is coming from ( click on Mt Pourndon on sidebar )

Thanks to those who have been talking about the need for a smoke information service .( see post below ) Bit of a paradox there somewhere . You know there is something burning somewhere,  and smoke is clouding the view,  but you are not sure where its coming from .
The Yeodene fire in the peat is reportedly burning as deep as 20 metres down and is unlikely to go out for years.( some pictures coming) The peats high water repellancy and petro chemical nature means it remains an ongoing risk.Seems that the coal type smell from this area is a distinctive
Smoke is also coming from DSE control burns at Aireys Inlet /Lorne area . More control burns are planned for this week.Some across Jancourt way see HERE.  Apparently even Lake Colac is on shedule for a burn.
