Flights across Australia cancelled due to Chile's volcanic ash


Volcanic experts are tipping Chile's volcanic ash cloud will move from South Australia to New South Wales this afternoon, before hitting Victoria and Tasmania tomorrow.
By the time it hits Sydney, the two-week-old ash cloud would have travelled about 54,000 kilometres since leaving the site of the volcano, from the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle complex in southern Chile.
Flights in and out of Adelaide have already been suspended by Virgin, Jetstar, Tiger and Qantas for today until early tomorrow morning.
Some regional, early morning national and international flights have been able to leave Adelaide airport, but for now the terminal has been described as a 'ghost town'.www.facebook.com/emmanuelsamuko
