I've looked outside my house and I can only see like 25m away but that was weeks ago and it's gotten worse.

with this amount of smoke, shouldn't there be ash rain as somewhere else on the world? I mean Europe gets red rain from Sahara desert sand.

According to this size comparison I made with truesizeof (https://i.imgur.com/N6v3tSi.jpg) it seems like almost all of Australia would be inside the smoke area.

These fires are crazy.
