Outback campers and travellers must always be aware when driving on some unsealed roads for Bulldust.
Bulldust is a fine dust that covers many outback unsealed roads in Australia.
It is slippery and hides many wash outs and potholes. Bulldust will obscure your vision when overtaking or passing another vehicle especially a large vehicle like a road-train truck with trailers.
The dust once disturbed, can cover your vehicle within minutes especially if a light wind is blowing.
If you encounter Bulldust, turn your headlights on immediatley and if possible turn off the airconditioner and close all air vents until the dust has subsided.
When stopping for the night to camp, always check which way the wind is blowing before setting up. It will save a lot of heartache in the morning.
