I just noticed it on the weather news. Accuweather describes it as north of Wollongong, and up to Newcastle, which, presumably, would put it north of Canberra, if their description is accurate. Can you see it on the horizon?

Lyn - Is That Huge Dust Storm Going To Remain North Of You?
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Hi Tex,
We already had the edge of it come through here on it's way north. It was weird - the world felt like it was all filmed in an orange filter! We couldn't see it coming - it just kind of got dustier all day. Glad it has left now.
Mind you, we had some big thunderstorms in the night as well, so everything is now covered in a thin layer of mud.
My niece in Brisbane was complaining yesterday that it is even dusty inside. Liz will probably be experiencing the same thing.
Pity to think of all that good soil just blowing away. But I guess that is how it works. Hopefully some will be deposited on farmland, but I suspect most will end up in the ocean.

What a bummer. The weather report that I read, missed all of the area south of Wollongong.
We had a few of those dust storms roughly 25 years ago. The worst one struck on Easter Sunday Morning. Our corn crop was up about 3 or 4 inches tall, and the blowing dust, (propelled by high winds), burned the corn off at ground level, in many fields. The next day, those fields were bare, (except for little windrows of dust, of course).
