    Nice work Gigee!! I hear the weather’s been pretty wild up there. There goes all the topsoil from the red centre!

  • GiGee replied

    Thanks Merrilyn. I feel for the farmers, hopefully a one off for us in Sydney, but they have it dust storms all too often. It was certainly a surreal experience waking up and seeing such a red sky!

    i remember the dust storm of 1983, seeing it rolling in, taking up the entire sky and thinking it must be the end of the world.
