Dust Storm on Wednesday

G.day everybody.

Hope your all keeping well. We are still having beautiful sunny days apart from a lovely visit from the sand man last Wednesday. My next door neighbour telephoned me to let me know that a dust storm was approaching and to shut all the windows and doors. This was done in a hurry and then I quickly grabbed the camera, ran outside to have a look and take these pictures.

All these photos were taken a few minutes a part (click to enlarge)
Looking towards the Hwy watching the dust storm approach.

A few minutes later

Same time Looking towards the park

Right over my back yard

A little later over the

back yard

Looking towards hwy a little later.

The dust was so heavy the main hwy was shut for a few hours due to poor visability.

Looking towards the park

Gary spent spent a long time cleaning and polishing the BBQ before he left for home, Now look at the mess all covered in Dust within a couple of hours

I forgot to run and shut the laundry door

Ohh what a mess

Dirt and red dust covering everything in sight.

Too much dirt and dust to wipe off the surface. Only method was to sweep it all off before the cleaning process could even begin.

This is also only a small portion of dust and dirt on the table.

Later in the day hopefully the wind and dust has passed .

Now time to clean up

Thats all folk, I will be around to visit you all in the next few days.

Dust Storm

Hi Everyone.
Tonight A few photo's of our dusty Monday..

Front page headlines in our local paper.

The Small print reads: A severe dust storm blew through Yarrawonga/Mulwala on Monday in advance of welcome cold front that brought 10mm of rain.This boosted the September rainfall tally to 17.2mm which is well below the 50mm average.

I took these outside our supermarket of the storm comming across the lake.


the next two photo's as the storm passed over my back yard, you couldn't see the sky through the thick brown dust

What a mess! The back window of my car

The front was as bad as the back and

I had to use the windscreen washes before I could drive my car home.
