The memory of a dust storm that hit north west Victoria,
the swirling mass of air and dust bearing down. The
colour of the soil a vivid red, the clean, clear blue
sky ahead of the storm with the swirling mass of red
relentlessly overtaking it. The seeming flatness of
the mallee plains offer a wide view of the storm approaching
across a huge expanse of sky creating a sense of urgency
and wonder. The clearing of the mallee scrub and the
planting of crops is a contributor to the instability
of the topsoil and a precursor to these storms.
