Sydney smothers..

Woke up early this morning, to a 'dust storm'..the air was choking!!
Took this pic looking out my front door at 6am.
The whole of Sydney was under a blanket of red dust,
blown in from Sth Australia and Northern Territory, the gale force winds
were a manace...the dust got in everywhere, my car in my garage was layered in red dust!!


I'm sure Uluru has been blown away by now..could sweep it up from in my backyard :-)

Just said to Laine, we moan at a drop of rain.
That weather would just about finish me off.

Same here today...awful wasn't it. We had a friend fly up from Melbourne, his plane late today the only one to land at Coolangatta. They predict there could be another in a few days....75,000 tons of dirt an hour was dumped into the Tasman Sea...as if the drought isn't bad enough : (

Good capture, Susan!
