Australian Dust Storm

Some of you may have heard about the freak dust storms in Australia during the month of September. We had two in one week while I was home. Dust covered everything. It was hard for me to imagine that the dust we were seeing in the sky had blown in from the middle of the country. Many people don't realize just how big Australia really is. Imagine a dust storm moving across the country from Kansas to the East Coast. It's a long way for dust to blow. It did, however provide for some beautiful sunsets. This was the milder dust storm. Cameras and dust don't get along too well so I was not about to get it out in the first one.
