24.01.2022 We have had a few inquiries about the smoke around atm. This smoke is covering a large area from Stanthorpe, Warwick, Killarney and further out this way. The smoke in Stanthorpe is believed to be coming from Cunningham's gap and NSW. Remember smoke can travel great distances with the smoke from fires in NSW ending up in New Zealand. There are no new fires atm on the RFS fire map and Bracker Creek has not been called to any new fires.

19.01.2022 The smoke from Australia’s bushfires has drifted over New Zealand’s South Island NSW Rural Fire Service says it’s a testament to the amount of vegetation that has burnt over the last 36 hours. : Bureau of Meteorology

13.01.2022 5:30pm Mon The sheer amount of smoke from all the relentless fires has now merged into a continuous belt stretching more than 1000 km (straightline distance) ...from southern NSW to northern SEQ. This is on top of the other smoke plumes streaming off a number of other fires burning in eastern QLD and some in eastern VIC. Many of you in SEQ probably would’ve noticed the big pall of smoke spreading across the skies as the SE wind change surged through much of this smoke has been streaming off some of the fires in NE NSW (the upper sections of these smoke plumes have been getting dragged up by the SSW winds between the low and middle levels of the atmosphere while some of the smoke lower down has been getting pushed inland after having reached SEQ), For more info about the current gusty cooler SE wind change and what’s likely over the coming days, tap or click on: https://www.facebook.com//a.2791336025/10157788404827505/ Satellite image via Weatherzone (Ken)

10.01.2022 STOP SHAKING YOUR GAS CYLINDER!!! Ever since I lost a friend through gas explosion, I haven’t stopped creating awareness about it, share as you read. Please, y...ou don't have to shake the gas cylinder to know the level of its content. What you should do is to wet a side of the cylinder with water, after a while the used top part will be dry while the lower part with gas will remain wet. The wet portion tells you the amount of gas left. Most times we shake our gas cylinders to know if it's finished or not, that's a dangerous thing to do. It could be suicidal! You can save a life today by sharing this information.
