WOW.

It is 6am in Sydney, the wind is doing 30+ knots but thanks to the horrible light pollution we have in this city all I can see everything outside is central Australian red.

I hope no-one left their washing out on the line...

Visibility is about 150 meters at the moment, but if anyone can get out on the water today get pictures please as they will be very special...

This is exactly what it looks like outside at the moment:



And, here's some youtube footage of the storm rolling in to Broken Hill yesterday:

A nice bright orange on the northern beaches this morning.
Couldnt even see Longy from the top of Collaroy Plateau on the way down the hill.

Strewth Elmo, does that mean that our sailing spots will now glow in the dark when the wind blows??

Stinks? Nah, that's the sweet dusty smell of the outback!

It brings back fond memories of family fishing trips out west traveling in a van that would suck in all the dust when traveling on unsealed roads. Today's nowhere near as thick with dust as following someone else on a dirt road.

Just a small problem, well not much I suppose, well not for us over here in WA. But............... what happens to the proposed "open cut" uranium mines waste dumps, and ore processing dumps, when this happens, You East Coasters are "all" in the firing line You cant wet the dumps down hoping it wont get picked up and driven to major centers. Clean energy maybe, but you guys and girls may not like the outcome Why we dont develop Thorium Reactors...instead, is a concern.

Mental note - don't try this at home...

(the audio is priceless, and how's the car towing the trailer going the other way...)

He says I think we should turn around and go the other way.

She asks why.

I rest my case in the arguement against having a female Prime Minister.
