Enormous wall of dust hits part of Australia
An enormous wall of dust has hit part of Australia as residents brace themselves for a tropical cyclone.
The stunning images of the wild dust storm were captured by tugboat works and aeroplane passengers near the town of Onslow in north-western Australia.
Local reports say the huge swathes of red sand and dust had been picked up by strong winds in the Indian Ocean before being dropped near the town.

Mount Bromo, on the Indonesian island of East Java spews red smoke
The Tengger massif is bathed in dawn light as Mount Bromo spews red smoke over the ashy Sea of Sand below
The volcano is part of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park which attracts thousands of visitors to East Java every year
From a distance the rocky range is shrouded in clouds with only the peaks bathed in red light
Helminadia Jabur was drawn to the area by the vistas and quality of the light

From Photographer Sebastien Lebrigand
Astonishing photographs taken by a French photographer have created the illusion that a cargo of air passengers are off to a very hot location indeed... the sun.
Photographer Sebastien Lebrigand, 38, said that it took two days to get the shot he wanted but he eventually took the incredible pictures at around 7pm.
The father-of-two added that the shots were difficult to capture because the aeroplanes were moving so quickly and that the blinding glare of the sun made it difficult to get the timing right.
Photographer Sebastien Lebrigand, 38, said that it took two days to get the shot he wanted but he eventually took the stunning pictures at around 7pm on night this week.
Mr Lebrigand said: 'The plane is so fast it crosses the sun in a quarter of a second, so there was no time to lose.I couldn't move as I knew the plane was going to arrive very fast. Suddenly I was like "snap, snap"! And bingo, I'd got it in the bag - it was magnificent'
Mr Lebrigand took these striking shots as he walked alone under the night sky. The father-of-two said the aeroplanes looked 'so close' to the Moon as they flew from Spain to Germany
Mr Lebrigand said: 'It was a still night and the moon was rising, almost full. I find it fascinating that the planes appear so close to the Moon, but yet so far - much like we are on Earth, in relation to the rest of the Universe'
