An enormous cloud of smoke from Australia's bushfires has drifted all the way to New Zealand, leaving some South Island settlements in a haze.

We haven't had it consistently but at the moment we've got a front moving on to the South Island,' Mr Pyselman said. 'It's been happening for quite some time since the Aussie bushfires have been going. At the moment it's definitely more noticeable, especially over the South Island.''It will probably peter out.
