Bushfire smoke has continued to intermittently shroud some of Australia’s major cities as bushfires rage around the country.
Sydney has said goodbye to blue skies as a blanket of haze, of varying degrees of thickness, has made life unpleasant for some and downright dangerous for others over the summer period.
Canberra’s smoke haze was so bad at one stage that it briefly overtook Asia’s polluted megacities in the air pollution stakes, and the National Gallery had to close to protect priceless artworks from being damaged by all the smoke particles in the air.
