When we woke up there was a strange smell in the air, looking out there was a haze in the sky, the TV news informed us that it was the result of the bushfires and was covering the whole of Sydney.
We decided to spend the day in Manly, where Tim was living when we came previously, so we were adventurous and caught the bus. The haze was across the harbour, you could not see the southern shore, but we walked along from the wharf to Little Manly Bay, then Collins Flats, both lovely beaches.

The sun and wind gradually seemed to clear the haze and it was very warm.
Wednesday:
No smoke/haze today but after yesterday's excursion we stayed closer to home in Dee Why. Walked around the local botanical gardens before going back to the coast. Watched the local school children have their surfing lessons before adjourning to a café for coffee and a smoothie. Whilst we were there the shark alarm sounded, one had been spotted in the bay and the lifeguards cleared the water.
enough excitement for today.
