I was sitting reading shorthand at 6.40am (had insomnia) and could see a bright red light coming under the living room curtains. I felt a bit panicky, thinking it was a major bushfire outside the living room but it was thick red dust! My camera colours are crap – the sky was much redder. There’s a thick layer of dust over everything.
Turned on the telly to check what was happening and there it was – no one can see the Harbour Bridge! The Channel 9 helicopter can’t get off the ground to take footage!
Red dust from inland. First time ever.
And there’s a big earthquake in Melbourne. Are they connected? Are these the Final Days?
