I took these today - we have a huge dust storm here - it was 11:30 am when I took them. The redness is the iron that we have in our soils in the interior - the red dust has been blown all the way from the deserts in central Australia.
Sydney was affected earlier than we were here in Queensland, and their airports were closed with flights redirected to Brisbane. You couldn't even see the Harbour Bridge - it is amazing when these things happen, just not looking forward to dusting ..............even though the house has been closed up it gets in everywhere!! Many people in Sydney apparantly woke up to the storms, thinking that the eerie red glow was bushfires, and it really feels like the hazy redness that you get with them.
These pics are of the trees at the front of my place and along the creek at the back - normally can see more trees beyond them.

Australia still seems as a fantastic place to live. Even with dust storms.
I would take Australia over almost anyplace else - great weather, friendly people, terrific beaches - what more could we want!
