Crimson Mud is an Aerial photograph taken from the passenger seat of a small aircraft, of a Bauxite dam at Aluminium Works on the QLD coast. We flew over this dam a day after there was a lot of rain what intensified the red colour of the bauxite in the tailing pond.
The characteristic red colour of bauxite residue results from the high concentrations of naturally occurring iron compounds in the original bauxite ore.
