Heard part of a news item on the radio a few minutes ago that Qantas have suspended flights into Canberra - presumably due to poor visibility in smoke.
Also on ABC web site:

Melbourne to Canberra flight flew through smoke and (fire induced?) turbulence. Passengers applauded on landing. Plane met by emergency services. Captain 'greeting' passengers as they disembarked.
I'm surprised flights have been able to continue to operate - visibility must have been close to limits for days.
