Default Where's the dust coming from?

Howdy all,

Still at Max's doing some interesting work more on that later. At the moment Max would like to know where all the dust is coming from as we are in the middle of a very bad dust storm.

See Photos

Howard is Max pinching all our topsoil again ???

Default sand from the African Sahara

Hi Tony

The sand is probably from the Sahara We do sometimes have here in Switzerland sand on our cars (I'm not joking), very thin and powdered. The cars get a nice khaki sprayed color. I guess the sand has been travelling thousands of kms just to see some snow

Good to read that Max found his "personal slave no2" You're in my footsteps of doing & experiencing things you would never do anywhere else. What about drenching, fencing, tractor driving, haying and getting hayfever, taking Tassie on a quadbike-ride etc More action pics please

Wow, the countryside looks very green. You must have had some good showers.

Greetings from autumnly Switzerland
Chris

We're only a little more than a week away from the Deni Ute Muster, so it must be someone "crankin' it up furious" and practicising some Circle Work, with AC/DC playing Thunderstruck on the stereo.

The dust here has been pretty amazing, and only arrived about 6 hours after Tony's post said it was in Yass, so the winds can't have been that strong! The place looks like Pompeii today.

Default Embarrassed

Geez Phil, that makes my pictures look pretty lame

Apologies to the entire community of Broken Hill for complaining about what now looks as if it could have come out of a very dirty Vacuum cleaner..

Tony, should we leave notes have your mortal remains cast in plaster of paris in about 1000 years?
