The dust storm in Australia lasted for a day. It began in South Australia and the Northern Territory and then moved eastwards and north. In Sydney, it began before dawn and lasted well into the afternoon, whilst it moved into Brisbane just before noon and was still hanging around at midnight. North Queensland was expected to experience the storm within one-two days.
A nearly-continuous dust storm swept Mars from late June to October, 2001, a period of over 4 months. Previously, Mariner 9 observed a three-month dust storm on its arrival in November, 1971. The exact mechanisms that drive the storms is still being observed, but it correlates with heating of the Martian atmosphere and seems to increase this temperature. Rises of up to 40 degrees C were observed (from near or below freezing to temperatures above 0°C).
they last for a bout 1 to 2 hours

Mars has massive dust storms. All of the dusts particles make sort of a tornado.The dust storms of Mars are even more impressive than the dust storms of Earth.
Mars is the windiest planet in the solar system. Dust devils are known to be created when the winds get very windy.
On Mars, photographs from landing vehicles suggested that the sky is generally a butterscotch (yellowish-brown) color. Mars appears to have a permanent haze of dust, which remains suspended in the air after dust storms. The dust contains the mineral limonite, a brown iron oxide found on most of the Martian surface.

Mars has dust storms. The winds increase and the temperature drops. These storms can last for a month or more, and are quite common on Mars.

Mars is known for its dust storms. In 2001, a dust storm covered the whole planet -- but typically they only cover part (sometimes a very large percentage) of the planet.
It's Jupiter that has the long lived storm, not Mars
Although uncommon, it happens, and it can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few years. There is a storm on Jupiter has lasted 300 years. So, it can happen for unknown periods of time.
About 100 mph on the surface, but higher speeds can occur at altitude.

The only natural disaster known of on Mars is a world-wide dust storm that envelopes the entire planet in a blood-red cloud. This why Mars is often called "the red planet".
yes, mars has dust storms.
