SA Dirt in QLD

Brisbane today is as dusty as a 100 year old vacuum cleaner. Apparently SA saw fit to throw all their good topsoil our way and now it's being dumped on SE Qld. Visibility down to about 8 km's the paper says, but I reckon its closer to about 4 or 5 where I am.

Hopefully its all blown away before the weekend.

It was quite wide spread. Driving from Gayndah to Biloela today through central QLD. It was like traveling through heavy smoke minus the acrid smell.

Yuk is all I can say. No way am I going to expose my optics to it.
I feel for those with asthma, it must be awful for them.
