A Dust storm
Today dust arrived in Sydney, and later Brisbane. The worst ever seen according to reports on The Sydney Morning Herald.
Coming from the west, the dust appears to have arrived after high winds at places such as Broken Hill settling above Sydney. However it is covering all of NSW and was in Canberra yesterday. Face masks are flying off the shelves and anyone who has travelled west of Sydney by train knows that all that remains between Broken Hill and the rest of Western Australia is dust, and more dust.
A Sydneysider friend has dust through her house after leaving a window open 2cm wide.
One newspaper report even suggests the effects may be felt in New Zealand.
Great. Thanks very much to all the capitalists. Climate change, don't you just love it.
