With the bush fire still very evident I had a restless sleep last night. As day turned to night there was an eerie red glow with the fire still smouldering and tree trunks slowly burning, but the worst part was the smoke. Without any wind to blow the smoke away we were surrrounded by a smoky haze all night.
Thank goodness there is a nice breeze blowing the smoke away this morning and it is nice to smell fresh air again. I have had to wipe down all the surfaces inside the van this morning because somehow the ash managed to find its way inside. Horrible stuff to clean because if you try to brush it away it smudges.
I'm heading off this morning and should get to Darwin early this afternoon. I've booked myself into a caravan park because there is no free camping close to Darwin. With the show on all week and school holidays as well, it will probably be a lot busier than normal.
