So did it actually pass over down there? It came over here (Central QLD) late yesterday and is still pretty bad. Slept with the house completey closed up and getting sore eyes and throat today. Is it better down there (sydney etc) yet or still pretty bad. Just wondering how long it is going to take to get back to normal. I spent about 5hours cleaning, scrubbing and hosing the front of my house last sunday ready to paint saturday. :

Used to have a video on it somewhere.

Wake up this morning to a slightly lighter 'golden glow' but a golden glow none the less. No prizes for guessing that the dust has returned AGAIN. :(
Dust isn't quite so thick this morning but it IS there, & throwing that weird glow everywhere.
For those that are interested here's a couple of comparo pics.
Wednesday morn 0645


Friday morn 0645


Saturday morn 0830

We had some awesome dust storms here in Roxby Downs, and my mum left the window of the GT down just a crack and filled it up with red dirt. But check out this vid of Broken Hill. How awesome is this!! Don't know how to embed it into the post so follow the link.
