So you want to know a bit about me….ok I guess you can have a bit of a giggle in what I have put together….still working on it so its early days.
Anyway this is what I look like for those who have to have pictures. Its obviously taken last Christmas and with a bit of a tan up. I do spend a fair bit of time outdoors and in the part of the country that I live there is always lots of sunshine. My name is Peter, more usually known as DUST on IRC...you will see an explanation as to the origins of "Dust" below.
I am a Teacher, have been for a few years now. Yes I confess - I am in my early 40's but you'll have to agree with me I dont look a day over 35...hehe.

Hi there well this is the home page of the Mallee Dust Storm. I was born in Mildura and then grew up in the small Mallee township of Ouyen. Its a hot dry and dusty place hence my nick. Actually Ouyen is from an aboriginal word meaning "Black Ghost" which describes the effect of the serious dust storms in blacking out the sun and the sky when they formed and blew into the region.

As a child I can remember such Dust Storms approaching and the urgency to "get inside" and close up the house. It never stopped the dust though…and I guess that’s the bit about me too. Its pretty hard to stop me when I have made up my mind at something.

SOME LOCATIONS I HAVE RESIDED IN TO DATE:

You can see on this map where I have lived my life in Victoria
First of all right at the top is Mildura where I was born then just South of there where the roads intersect is actually Ouyen.
Bendigo is where I went to Boarding School.
Melbourne is where I lived for 15 years.
At the moment the place to be is Horsham, which is towards the west of the State.
