For your interest; took this shot at Coolum beach from Pt Perry about 3 pm yesterday afternoon. Was unbelievable!!!

I would have got you one on our way down from coober pedy but I couldnt see the back seat to find my camera!! neverlone the road (I think there was one there somewhere?)

Top photo Colly....... We experienced two of them when I lived in Ceduna. Took days to clean up afterwards. It gets in everywhere!!

I was in Ceduna for one of those I think. It was in the early 80's and it started in the very early hours of the morning and continued all day. The sand was piled up along the passage wall opposite the door. The dust hung off the walls, in the curtains and on everything. My girls and I worked for 2 days to get rid of it. Right now in Cairns it's smoky and dusty. The sky has a really weird sandy-smoky colour and gusts of SE wind. The rainforest is a faint image in the background. Will send pics later.
