I was in a plane on the tarmac of Melbourne airport when the big fire started. The city streets were deserted driving in as the temperature was 45C, like stepping into an oven. There was a long thin fire front following the north wind down through Victoria. Our plane was delayed as suddenly the strong wind changed 90 degrees now coming from the west. The long and thin fire now became a massive wide front fueled by a drought, everything in the forests were tinder dry.
Looking down in the 2hr flight to Sydney all I could see below the white clouds was brown clouds of smoke. This smoke passed over New Zealand and into South America.
