This is crazy! and trippy, brissies got it drasticallly, with some strong winds.
earlier on it was clear blue skies, warm and anything, and after sitting in a 3 hr painful lecture with Mr. (I need accent correction classes), i come
out and see this crazy wind with red dust (like a mist) everywhere. I can't see across to southbank. its too darn hazy!
All the asian international students have handkerchief's over their mouths like as though its a shanghia smog...
I sat outside for 20 mins having lunch while getting blown away, just insanely trippy and facinating...

This is worse in intensity than any Shanghai or Beijing dust storm, but to their credit, theirs do last for 2-3 months of the year. If you've got it
in Brisbane now, it will be a red hue for sunset. It's starting to clear a little in Sydney now. Was pretty freaky this morning. Both of the little
kids came running into the bedroom wondering what the heck was going on.

My black beetle was covered and looked totally orange. Wish had taken a pic
Have some friends arriving xmas from UK who have never been to Sydney before. Would have been good for them to see but of course I have not told them
about the crocs that arrive when it rains or the funnel webs around the house and the danger of landing at sydney due to the roos all over the runway
(but I did send a link to this thread :-)
