Australia's largest city, Sydney, has been hit by a storm of red dust and high winds, shrouding landmarks including the harbour bridge. Jinky Hunter was snapped by her husband Martin on Balmoral Beach at 0700 Wednesday (2200 BST Tuesday)...

Kirsty Ainsworth: "The beach this morning (what you could see of it) outside my house in Maroubra (Eastern Beaches, Sydney). The wind seemed to clear everything up by early afternoon - everyone's cars are still caked in orange dust though."

Jochen Schweitzer in Surry Hills: "My wife woke me up - the sky looked like it was from Mars - amazing colours."
