dust storm

Last Tuesday we found ourselves waking up to a red glow in our apartment. When we looked outside and all we could see was a red haze. The wind from the night before blew in a thick mess of red dust into Sydney, originating in the outback. By late afternoon the dust was all gone and the city was clean again. Apparently this happened again a few days later... but we did not see anything.
