Its on the sunshine coast too, coupled with a few bushfires according to some safety announcment on the radio.

Kids have the AC on and have put the 3 outside aussie farm type dogs inside, they have never been allowed inside, one has taken to the sofa and is staring mystified at the TV

Apart from that air is orange tinged grey, you can taste and smell the dust, visibility is only a couple of rooftops down the road instead of miles of views.

I dont know how you could survive without ac its bloody horrible. Dont think it will kill ya though, I mean outback this would often happen, wouldnt it?

Not hot enough down here for A/c. Only dust, got the windows open. Mind you, we are waiting to put decent flooring down so only have rough concrete in the living room - a bit more dust makes no odds at the moment

There have been several fires up there over the last couple of days. Very high to extreme fire danger, plus total fire bans:

In western NSW we used to turn the evaporative on full and close every thing, it creates enough pressure to stop any dust entering the house and the water keeps washing the dust out of the batts.

Can,t see a RC being able to build that type of pressure.

No idea how long it lasts, it's the first time I have seen this in 18 years.

But it does seem to be dying down now, about 4 hours after it started.

It has cleared in Sydney, so not an all day thing.

Still looks like were on the moon here, but it only started after lunch.

The point is that some people feel unable to cope without it - see J'n'R's post.
I on the other hand wouldn't be using it if I had it cos I don't like it, and cope better without it.

All pretty much clear here now, although its funny but everyone has brown cars LOL. I feel sorry for the Car sales places, I see a busy day tomorrow.
