Newcastle residents are reporting a pall of bushfire smoke over many parts of the city this morning.
It's coming from an 86 hectare bushfire burning to our north at Limeburners Creek.
The RFS says the fire, which is under control, is burning in the Wallaroo State Forest and not posing any threat to property.
An expected southerly change should clear the smoke later on Monday afternoon.
