Wow, wild day... Drove past a servo and saw a ton of smoke. Called 000 and chucked a U turn and then the smoke was all gone. Decided to hop on the FRV radio, and apparently it was caused by a diesel generator for a pressure washer and was more or less just a puff of smoke
The old smokey generator startup. A common caise of smoke alarms. Was 000 nice to you?

Interestingly it looked like the liberty next door had been burnt in a fire too, some of the petrol pumps were a bit charred and the entrances were all blocked off

It's the "byrnong" part that always gets me. Mari..benong? Binong? Bingbong?
Mari-byr-nong
