Hi Kev,

You've got to buy some green and blue sensors for that camera of yours!

That is one terrific dust storm! Thanks for posting it.

When it comes to first hand experience, I think you should be on the short list
for the first mission to Mars.

Best Regards

Gary

Thanks Gary and adrian for the reply.
It was shocking its not to bad now just finished cleaning out the air con pads in the van,but funnily enough they were not that dusty.

As for Mars i think ive been there already today and i,ll leave it for the next round of explorers.

Cheers Kev.

These images look almost surreal Kev, that's an amazing dust storm.
Thanks for sharing mate.

Wow, wouldn't want a camera or telescope out in that.

Dramatic photos, Kev.

It must get into everything! Talk about red centre. Hope it's nice and clear today. How often do you get them and long do they last?

Kev,

That looks nasty! Great pictures to document the event.

Wow
It looks like you were right in the epicentre so to speak
I've only seen these things from the outside on the Hay plains whilst driving across to Perth
Hope you didn't just wash the car/ute etc & the fridge was well stocked
I'm getting thirsty just looking at the pics

Well Kev,

You'll be pleased to know that a noticeable tinge (only a tinge) of that dust storm reached Oberon on Tuesday. We noted the colour in the air and the lack of the smell of smoke before it started to rain... maybe the dust seeded the rain...
