Smoke - grumble! ?? Ballarat way?

Planned to go out tonight, but smoke has rolled into Melbourne again. Anyone out Ballarat way can tell me whether the smoke has reached you as well? If so, it's indoors tonight. Thanks

Can't see any here Eric, but we are at Snake Valley, about 40k west of Ballarat.

We do have 60% cloud cover though

Yea Eric, it dosn't look to good at all, last night i thought i would have a go, got all set up and you guessed it, clouds all night.

Well at least i'm getting plenty of practice with setting up and packing up.

Cheers Leon

Thanks Leon and Ken

I had a reasonable night from the backyard last night - some cloud rolled in around 1am so I gave up.

Strangely, we now have bright sunshine here, little cloud and not much smoke. Forecast is for mainly clear skies. I may come west tonight - I need to learn my way to Snake Valley for the 19th anyway, Ken, and I'm on leave now. If you see a lost soul wandering the streets with binoculars in hand - it's probably just me

Eric,

If you happen to be able to get internet connection via a lappy in your car, I can meet up with you while you are up here tonight. I have left a message on your mobile, but I'll PM you my phone number as well.
