Thank you, Treasure. At last the voice of balance and reason. I'm coming unless matters change hugely and I do so agree with you the opposite percentage in the press would make one believe that the whole of the continent is a raging inferno. It is terrible how many lives have been affected but staying away will not improve matters.
I do hope that a shrimp in Australia is bigger than in Britain or France - even I eat more than one at a sitting

The humidity in the last week has noticeably picked up. The last few days have been rainy, not Sydney rain, more London drizzle every now and then. Thunderstorms at night. That's the usual pattern. Not to jump the gun, but I would hope in NSW the worst of the weather has probably passed. There's also two cyclones in the north so the monsoon may have finally arrived. The onset of the monsoon up north usually brings rainfall further south. Fingers crossed.
I wouldn't worry about visiting Sydney. Everything is normal, just a bit smokey.
