Covered in Dust

By JOL Admin | 24 September 2009

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.

  Dust storm approaching Boulia in Western Queensland, ca. 1926.  Image No: 164563
  Dust storm over Cloncurry, 1930.  Image No: 44719
  Dust storm between Bedourie and Boulia, Queensland, 1954.  Image No: lbp00242
