Hi all, Geoff built a fantastic white pergola, which runs the length of our house,
when the dust hit, it was brown, not happy, proceeded to hose it off which turned
to mud, (should have swept it off) anyhow, the cars were under cover just a little
dusty, we just figured it was a little top soil blown in from goodness knows where.
Well if you clean your car once a week as I do, its just a routine..

True on the carwashing lol
as for the topsoil....
How lucky are we some people pay good money for that

If you think we had it bad ... you'd better look at this video from Broken Hill... (part of this was on the news)

Thought we may have got a few more photos but I guess no one was game to walk out side.
Unfortunately my camera wasnt working in the morning while at work in Wollongong. Once I got to Liverpool I stopped to by a new card.
These are the only pics I took once I got back to Western Sydney and some will recognise the M7 and St Mary's area. I didnt take any pics of the M7/M4 Interchange, you couldnt see it!
May be a bit hard to see on the smaller pics but you can see the road building up with dirt and as the days went by it looked like there was no tar on the sides of most roads. All the roads looked narrower.

Heading North on the M7






Heading West on the M4 to Penrith


The top of this pic would normally have the Blue Mountains in the distance. Normally a very pretty view.


Oddly enough a week later the same areas got hit by much needed rain for a few days and to wash all the evidence away and then later a hail storm covers the place in white. Very strange!

That ain't White Cruisin ?? ...looks more like chocolate cruisin... what a mess on your PT , Ray ...lucky BundyRed was under cover ... but still wasn't kept all that clean!!

BTW --GREAT action shots too ---

Hope that red dust didn't stain the paint mate!! cheers Scottie

eerie sight ... the weather is being very fickle... thanks for the piccs .. WELL done

I'm guessing Ray's pics weren't taken while driving White Cruis'n.
Possibly closer to a work vehicle...............am I not right Ray?

Yeah work vehicle...Toyota Hilux Dual Cab Turbo Diesel 4WD. Bit hard to hide in it!



Sorry if the pics werent clear...I was probably texting at the same time with the other hand......while eating.......while setting up the GPS....

I wouldnt drive my car in that rubbish!

Just a comment for your safety mate. It would seem the photos were taken while driving. Same as driving while using a mobile phone.

NOT my photos (as I was in Brisbane at the time) but credit these photos to "Alex Mayes Photography" (posted on facebook)

Alex went into the city to take some photos.......







LOOK CLOSELY - Can you see it ???


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

THIS is what I saw in Brisbane (Ipswich)
It was more like what Sydney got in the Saturday 2nd wave.....

CREWZR...as I said "I was probably texting at the same time with the other hand" etc etc....lol

Pull over to take the photo Dot. The safety of your PT is more important than any photo, and your safety is even more important.

100% correct ... U know I am the dotty one !! love to tease .... most photos I take look like I might be "driving" .. but that is not the case ... I see too many people in my work to know that it isn't worth it !! ... hence my sightings with NO pictures ... i take pics in my head !!
