Wet winter, spring end 'dust age'

The Australian: Wet winter, spring end 'dust age' :

"Environmental scientist Grant McTainsh, from Queensland's Griffith University, said the widespread rain had ended a damaging three years for the landscape."

Well, yes, we have had a lot of dust and when it has rained my car has been all sorts of wonderful muddy splotuchy colours...mainly cream at teh moement, so we are back to that. When we were having good rains, it was amazing...my car was washed so clean one day it was gleaming. I haven't seen that ever in Australia...clean rain!! It would be nice to have a break form the sut because it is getting into everywhere including us. Trouble is, when it dries, it dries quickly here...but it's good to see the scientists tracking the patterns.
