[Healeys] No Healey-- Dust Clouds down under

[Peter Linn]

G'day Bob

Can't speak for Sydney other than what I saw on the TV news, but here in 
Brisbane (Queensland) 1000km to the North, visibility was down to about 400m 
at its worst (lunch time Wednesday) - it was grey rather than red here, and 
wasn't pleasant, but only dangerous if you had health issues. The met office 
said 15,000 tonnes an hour was being dumped on the Brisbane area. Some of us 
Healeyites were out at a track day at Lakeside Raceway (spectating) so are 
now looking at some serious car cleaning! Our water restrictions have been 
relaxed for a week to allow cleanup (but more dust is expected tomorrow!)

Cheers

Peter
