WILLY WILLY ON THE MARSH

A short vid of a couple of Willy Willy's we met out on the Fortescue Marsh, Pilbara, Western Australia on 21st October 2010. We saw these popping up all around us every day, but this one got the closest to us. I'm guessing the front one had a diameter of around 30 metres whilst the back one could be around 50 - 60 metres

For those unaware, the term Willy Willy is an Indigenous Australian word for a Whirlwind or Dust Devil, a small mini tornado that tends to pop up all over the place up there, sometimes called a Whirly Whirly
