No that's not a photoshop effect, that is in fact the Sydney Harbour Bridge disappearing into a dust storm.

Elsewhere around the country, Broken Hill is reporting that at several times today they've been thrown into total darkness, and in Brisbane they've also experienced something similar:

The bloody dust is everywhere. Only cleaned the car recently too.

Looks like a good time to buy shares in whatever companies are selling air filters in Australia. I have a feeling their profits will be going up soon.

Although its looking quite impressive now, I just think to myself that it's gonna make one hell of a mess when or if it rains. Surely with such small and fine particles it will just begin to rain mud?

impressive.

[Daniel]

Had this in perth once, not as bad though.
