when i was a lad workin as a jackoroo on stations near ilfracombe cen. qld rolling downs, i had to rode out 15 or more klm's to a remote paddock for some reason one day, and the most eerie scenario unfolded before me. I could see in the distance a humungous dust devil, but unlike any i have seen before or since, i would definitely call it a tornado, as it went way up into the sky, and seemed to have an enormous girth from where i stood, adding to surrealness, i was at a small dam, which had an ancient windmill, one of the biggest and strongest looking ive ever seen, industrial scale size, and it had been tied neatly in a granny knot up and under itself. obviously by a tornado like the one i was looking at in distance, at some time, then on top of that the horse started acting spooked out, and i nearly lost him as i was on foot by then, and thats when i noticed the large family of big black tusked to the gills boars 30 metres away, i was happy to get out of there!
