I would say the Cronulla Sharks trophy cabinet.
Heard today that there's more on the way should reach the east cost tomorrow morning, just not as bad as the other day.

The second dust storm passed through this morning, a great site but know where near as bad as the other day, hardly any dust on the cars.
Now scientist are saying :gossip: the dust maybe radioactive as the dust came from the uranium fields and where they did the nuclear testing :uhoh2:.
Cheers
no dust in brisbane yet
its a nice sunny day
although it is due to hit this afternoon :mad:
Oh Five

You'll be fine. That dust has been blowing down over Adelaide on the hot Northerlies for years and nothing has happened to us:goofy::skull:
