The dust cloud that swept across Brisbane yesterday made for some spectacular photographs. These shots were taken by the State Library's photographer, Reina Irmer, at lunchtime yesterday, showing views of and from the State Library.

It is not the first time Queensland has been hit by dust storms though, as the following photographs testify.
