The fires currently burning out of control in the North East of Victoria are producing so much smoke that it can be clearly seen by satellite. It's not surprising as the smoke has spread as far a field as Tasmania. Even parts of Melbourne are being covered by smoke and there have been delays at Tullamarine airport even though the fires are burning almost 300km away. Volunteers are still working around the clock to save houses and bushland.
