One fine sunny morning at Andamooka, exactly like the one below:

This happened an hour later:

Apparently the dust storm above looked unreal as it approached.  I wouldn't know though, I was down the bottom of the opal mine in the picture and by the time I got up the top this (above) is the view that greeted me.  I never would have known it had occurred had my father not driven to the mine to tell me, my father and grandfather both tried to take a photograph with my auto-everything camera (all you do is take the lens cap off and press the button) but were unable to figure it out.  By the time they drove to the mine, called me to come up and gave me the camera the dust had well and truly moved in.
