KI fire must have been huge to give off the much smoke.  It came all around and surrounded Gawler and could see it even in the hills east of Gawler.  I tohught there must have been a big fire around Gawler somehwere....

In comparison KI is only a few thousand hectares, where as Ngarkat is around the 60,000 hectare mark... Imagine if the wind blew that smoke our way...
