Dust Storm

Wednesday 23rd September, 2009 Leave a Comment

We woke this morning to a strong smell of dust in the air – but we were not prepared for what we saw when we got up and looked outside!

One of the worst dust storms in Sydney’s history – soil blown in from the inland deserts and western farming regions on strong westerly winds. The early morning light on the dust gave it an eerie red glow, with visibility down to less than 100m at times.

I grabbed the camera and jumped in the car to go and take some photos before it cleared.
