In Australia the summer of 2019-20 has been a horror one so far with hot dry weather , severe drought and innumerable bushfires. This timelapse, taken 40km north of the fire front from a vantage point in the far north of Canberra, is the northern edge of the fire which threatened the south of Canberra and burned through Namadgi National Park and into surrounding parts of rural NSW in early Feb 2020. This fire, and other fires it has started in NSW has burnt through going on for 80,000ha of forest and farmland and unfortunately some houses. Here we see it reacting to a blustery change in wind direction on the afternoon of 3 Feb 2020, sending yet more bushfire smoke over the city, which will settle once the wind drops into the evening. 1 second of video represents about 4mins of reality.
