We're only a little more than a week away from the Deni Ute Muster, so it must be someone "crankin' it up furious" and practicising some Circle Work, with AC/DC playing Thunderstruck on the stereo.

The dust here has been pretty amazing, and only arrived about 6 hours after Tony's post said it was in Yass, so the winds can't have been that strong! The place looks like Pompeii today.

Default Where's the dust coming from?

We had 90-100km winds yesterday and into the night , we don't know where the dust is coming from...cause we don't have any left!

Geez Phil, that makes my pictures look pretty lame

Apologies to the entire community of Broken Hill for complaining about what now looks as if it could have come out of a very dirty Vacuum cleaner..

Tony, should we leave notes have your mortal remains cast in plaster of paris in about 1000 years?
