All states of Australia except for Tasmania have had major dust storms at some stage. Australia is a dry country, and small dust storms occur regularly in the outback and through towns situated on flat plains.'
The most recent significant dust storm in Western Australia was in January 2013, when a dust storm in the ocean off the northwest of the state created what looked like a huge red wave. The so-called red wave was created when winds collected tonnes of red dust from the area around Onslow.
In Queensland, a huge dust storm crept up from the south in September 2009, blanketing the state in dust after having originated in South Australia and the Northern Territory. It first dumped soil throughout New South Wales before pushing north to Queensland.
