Red mist descending

We woke up today to have this Red glow coming through the windows, it was very strange like something out of a movie. We turned on the TV to see the news to find out what's happening and they said it was Red dust blown all the way down from the NT thousands of miles away.

There is thin layer of dust on everything from cars to pavements. Even indoors we could taste it a little in our mouths and our noses. It's now 11am and its cleared by about half and I can now just about see the buildings in the distance on the harbours edge through the Red fog. Very strange, Sanna said she's never seen it before.
