Garry Haines was out checking calving cows on November 6 last year in the picturesque Errowanbang valley in New South Wales when suddenly he could not breathe.
Thick, white dust coated the pasture he was riding his bike through. The dust was coming up off the grass, from the dust event that happened a few days before, he said. And when you re following cattle along they re walking through it, so the dust is coming back up from them.
