Hi Tom the dust is a pain but we experience them in our spring and summer.

Its is over now but the east coast of australia got a taste of it yesterday as our other IIS menbers will tell you.

Clear skies here again even Trevor imaged last night that how clear it was last night.

This dust could probably make it to New Zealand we will wait and see.

Cheers Kev.

Cheers Kev.

*cough* *cough* yes, I remember that one well, David. I was in high school and the school was quite high in elevation so they must have seen it coming. So what did the school do? They dismissed the entire school and 300 students went out into the open just as it hit. I rememeber trying to find some protection from it as we were standing a block away from the school. The school copped a hiding for their actions, I do remember that much.'


Great image, David.

Kev, I heard a news report that similar conditions are predicted on Saturday?
