In St Lucia, the moment I stepped outside it smelt strongly of smoke. Are there hazard reduction burns going on?

Not sure but I recently found there are satellites monitoring for hotspots you can look at to see if there are fires nearby: https://firenorth.org.au/nafi3/

Click on "South QLD" in the sidebar then zoom in on the map. It's quite eye opening how many fires are burning across the state at any one time.

    Can't smell anything but looking south was a pretty gnarly looking smoke or cloud moving around.
