I'd say it's from up North, it's covering Helena Valley too.

smoke up the hill is from the kings park, yanchep/two rocks and hope valley fires.

Hmm didnt they send Parkerville 3.4 this morning? Or is it to far to respond from the hills?

Not too far but probably don't want to risk having someone taking a stab at John forrest NP or somewhere else with a high fuel loading.

About 4pm there was a large black smoke cloud floating up the valley through Parky up towards Mt Helena, east. It was raining ash up in the hills for a while, but as far as I know, there is nothing happening up here in the hills.
