A Big Burning Hole In The Ground

While I was at work on Sunday, I thought, "Gee, the sky looks a bit hazy over that way today..."

Turns out, the big open-cut coal mine down the road was on fire. It's still burning, and will probably continue to do so for a couple of days. Coal fires are pretty hard to put out, especially if it's deep down. The CFA have their work cut out for them (again).

The good news is that no-one was injured, and it isn't likely to inhibit coal production, so no-one will run out of electricity just yet.
