Sydney goes red

Due to a freakish storm and some very high winds blowing

thick clouds of red dust from the centre of Australia,

we woke to a surreal image of 'Martian red' light this morning..

Here are some unretouched images by local photographers..

More from here, here and here

Thankfully Isabella has been coping well with the

thick air, despite warnings by the Department of Health

that asthmatics and children may experience problems

until the dust clouds clear later on today...

P.S. I bet the local car and window washing companies are

thanking the weather gods for the thriving business they

can expect following this freakish weather....
