    I wonder how many others were out there in the thick of it.
    It would certainly be a memorable experience of one of the weather extremities.
    Now who was it said "There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing."?

    Now what 'little number' would be appropriate for that?

    A nice little suit from NASA perhaps?

    cheers

    No special clothing is required for dust storms. I speak from experience of two years in the Simpson Desert, quite a few dust storms in that time.

    Need to change practices, like a sheet of alfoil over your plate as soon as it is served and lift it up to get each forkfull. But no special clothing.

    Saw an article on this on the early news this morning. The old fella who got caught out there seems like quite a character. Glad to see he came out of it OK.
    Cheers .........
