my daughters friend had one of those masks on, brand new filter after 1.5 hours on the street was filthy. my daughter has ordered one, it comes friday, she works in Collins st.
Did she order it online?
On Bunnings:
David, they'll be sold out. They were probably sold out weeks ago.
My wife ordered some online and they arrived Monday (probably about a 3 or 4 business day turnaround). I bought a pack of 2 P2 masks (manufactured by 3M) at Bunnings last week. They had been sold out but the store had restocked - you just have to be careful to buy the P2s. I think it was about $15 for the 2. I tried one this morning. My observations are that you wouldn’t wear one for long (they’re difficult to breathe through and they get hot quickly). If you were doing anything strenuous, the standard mask would probably become wet and unusable from exhaled air fairly quickly. I say that as someone quite used to wearing masks over my nose and mouth for medical reasons, so I suspect they might be less tolerable for people who aren’t used to putting on a mask. I suspect the strategy would be to use these only as a last resort if you have to venture out - much better to stay indoors.
That said, the P2 particles might damage your health but they probably won’t rot your brain as quickly as the climate change denialist nonsense on Nick’s, so, if you’re staying indoors, I suggest that you limit your VPT exposure for a bit.

Aha, so it sounds like one should check with Bunnings periodically to catch them when they restock. The 10-pack would be better.
Online from which site? amazon.com is like a month wait.
No worries, not belittling it, hell we've had 400m visibility for the last couple of days too but having an out of control fire within a couple of km with the sky turning orange and embers flying is another level I wouldn't wish on anyone.
I was a lot closer up in Bendigo in 2009 though so I was calm as a hindu cow this time. Not sure how I would've got a dog, 3 cats a rat and a baby into the car if I had to leave though
