I can sympathise, here in Lonny we have the worst winter air pollution in the country, if not the world. Our pollies are too gutless to do anything about it.

For the next 6 months we have to put up with filthy air, hopefully as the nights get cooler the smoke will settle in the valley earlier and we can get some viewing from higher points. Our pollies have just put a premium of $130 to walk some of the Cradle mountain tracks yet let people pollute the air with no penalty. Meanwhile our state government has spent 1.5 million promoting a private pulp mill which will use scarce water and pollute the valley more.
