South Australia is dry and hot in the north of that state. There is this strange place called Wilpena Pound there in the Flinders Ranges. That was once sheep country.
Apparently the smoke haze goes 300 miles out. It has been almost a month of smoke, though those rainforest fires were much earlier. The afternoon light is yellow or orange, a bit like it is just before a big storm. Will this lead to some sort of change in the politics? It no longer seems (remotely) convincing to blame it on the greenies or young people eating smashed avocado and drinking lattes.
