DUST from the Mallee on Wednesday did more than just create an orange glow over Mildura and surrounding towns.

• THURSDAY'S DUST: Mildura hit with second major dust storm in as many days
• WEDNESDAY'S DUST: Mildura dust storm turns sky bright orange … again

It also travelled as far as Melbourne, where it joined up with rain to dirty cars and even change the colour of the Yarra River.
