12/5/2002: Australian dust cloud

chrisinhouston · 12-14-2002, 08:57 AM

I have a friend in Australia who I sent a link to of this image and he sent me this reply:

"The town where this took place is Griffith, in the Riverina area of New South Wales (also know for it's Mafia connections, due to the Italian immigrants who settle there with their market gardens & wineries, etc. after W.W.II). It is a large irrigation area now, known as the fruit bowl of the state. They have had 3-4 dust storms in the past month just like this."
