- Diesel and Dust is an Australian concept album about the struggles of the Australian Aborigines and environmental causes, issues both near and dear to the band, and drew inspiration from the Black Fella White Fella tour of remote Indigenous communities with the Warumpi Band in 1985.
- The rhythm of "Beds are Burning" is said to be inspired by the noise of their vehicles' wheels on the corrugated dirt roads in the region.
- In 1989, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 13 on their list of the 100 best albums of the 1980s. (Source)
