Bulldust
Bulldust or bull dust is a fine red aeolian dust which is especially common in the Australian Outback.[1] It is formed from dry particles which measure less than 2 microns and so form a choking cloud when disturbed.[2] It is a particular hazard when driving as it may conceal dangerous potholes or reduce visibility.[3]
