I was curious and looked up latitudes. Auckland is 36.8485, Sydney 33.8688, Armidale 30.5106. I would guess the combination of Sydney fires with add ons from New England Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-52197441466916752932019-11-24T20:24:27.693+11:002019-11-24T20:24:27.693+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phil Godfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983012731746234773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-22552268385922482872019-11-24T20:24:25.985+11:002019-11-24T20:24:25.985+11:00G'day Jim, Phil Godfrey here, just informing t...G'day Jim, Phil Godfrey here, just informing the smoke haze was quite prominent here today, on the West Coast of Northern New Zealand. Same thing occurred last week. Not certain whether it is from the NSW or Qld fires, more likely from NSW.

A few weeks back, I had coffee with a friend at Cafe Pattiserie in Rusden Street two blocks from the main street to talk about the English children's writer Arthur Ransome. It used to be a corner store and is now an upmarket coffee and cakes place with seating inside and out. I knew a few people, was able to eavesdrop on a few more. Looking around and listening, it did feel like Canberra!
