Sandblasted

Just been sandblasted
Nadgee Nature Reserve

This part of the coast is notoriously windy - its pretty much the south-east corner of Australia, and out on the dunes where there's no vegetation it can get pretty abrasive. Just staying upright and moving forward is a feat. Here we're recovering after a particularly arduous traversal of a large dune. Meika lost his hat in the sandstorm, chased it into a swirling eddy of airborne sand and wasn't too sure if he was going to come out again.
