There are so many things to tell everyone and I wish I had a photo of this but on my way out here I drove through 3 willy willies!!!!! They were only small and went across the road so fast but were amazing to see. Willy Willy is thought to be derived from the Yindjibardi or a neighboring language. In aboriginal myths, willy willies represent spirit forms, often quite scary spirits. Parents may warn children if they misbehave, a spirit will emerge from a spinning vortex of dirt and chastise them.
They are very similar to tornados and can be quite big often picking up pieces of tin sending it flying in the air, so obviously can be quite dangerous.
The ones I saw were baby ones just spinning dirt and leaves in a circle flying across the road and off into the bush!!!!!!
