The famous dust storm Wednesday, 23rd September 2009

It hit the news all over the world - our little blow! Awoke to an orange glow through the curtain, but as I have the radio on all night I knew the expected dust storm had arrived. Tried to shut the two high narrow windows above the front door but had no luck so ended up with a layer of dust right through the cabin, and just after I had done a spring clean ready for the arrival home of the landlord. Did not worry about cleaning up too much as a second blow was forecast for Saturday. Well it did arrive Saturday when we were pouring my house slab, but thankfully it was not as bad as Wednesday. Following are just a couple of photos of how it looked here at “UndaWadda” at various times during the day. Did not take to many as I was worried about the fine dust getting into the camera. Photos are as they came out of the camera with no post production done.

Looking down the paddock. Note the stray cow which blew in with the storm.
