Revellers did not run away when a whirlwind swept through a music festival in Australia on Saturday.

They instead sprinted directly towards the towering column of dust and debris so that they could dance in it.

Canadian Olivier Bonenfant filmed the incident at the Earthcore festival, which was held about 100km north of Melbourne.

He dubbed it a "doofnado" - "doof" is an Australian slang term for a dance party held in the bush.
