Recent Dust Storms in Australia

Abstract

ON November 11, 12 and 13, 1902, New South Wales anci Victoria experienced severe dust storms, apparently caused! by a mild cyclone travelling from the west, as the dust reached here yesterday morning, the wind at the time being very light. The atmosphere was so loaded with fine dust that the suri looked dim and objects less than a mile away were quite indistinet, and all furniture, even with doors and windows closed, became coated with a fine grey deposit.
