Was speaking to a local here tonight and he said that he is used to it.. says that there is a lot of dust in the middle of Oz (yep, of course.. no sarky comments perlease!) and that when the winds and the right scenerio hits, the dust storms come on through.. he seems to think it is pretty normal.. he was a bit suprised to hear the "global warming" theory to it... considering he has been experiencing it and his rellies have always experienced it.. its not a "new thing" per say to most Aussies (his words, not mine)..

However, I was suprised that a few people seemed to think it was pretty normal up the pub tonight... mind you.. could be that the coast didnt get hit as much.. I experience the storm in Brissie and without sounding like a right wuss, I woke up at 2am yesterday morning (or is it this morning.. yes, I think so) and my eyes felt dead gritty and sore...

Well, we usually have a great view from outside our house but today all I can see is white, even worse than yesterday!
Sun is still shining through though

From where I am the mountains round Cairns would seem to have disappeared completely now - they were hazy yesterday but gone today!
