An Australian Sandstorm



March 15, 2006.

Kararo Hills, Australia.

Photographer states :: Dry times again! From a maximum temperature of 40deg C and within a few minutes a change from the south dropped the temperature to 20 degs C. Along with the temperature drop came a howling dust and sand storm reducing visibility to less than 100 metres. Winds strong enough to lift sand the size of rice grains to one metres and fine swirling dust to 1,500 metres. But it only lasted a few minutes and then a few spots of rain but we are still waiting for a break in the season (to give some useful rainfalls).
