We are sliding into Year 8 of the worst drought ever recorded in this area(CW Qld). Rain-dance tuition would be greatly appreciated here as well...

Ironic that people not 200kms North of us had our average annual rainfall (16 inches/ 400mm) in a week, and lost over a third of their livestock, and yet THEY were luckier than people further North who lost everything!

I hear ya ..... while not as bad as you lot up there this is the worst I have seen it around bairnesdale Vic in 30 years most of the dams on the propertys I shoot on are dry .
Only 2 are going good as they have boar water .
On some of the sheep places there isn't any grass roots in the ground just 25 knots of wind and you see the topsoil blowing away .

Man it must be bad now.... when we were there we couldn't stop the bloody grass from growing. Rain then 3 days of sunshine then rain and then 4 days of sunshine... meant grass need to be mowed every 10 days or I needed to do 2 passes. Lol

You’ve no idea how thankful I am that my livelihood is no longer directly dependent on rain. It’s 15 years since I escaped irrigated dairy farming and still think it’s the best thing I ever did!
Fingers crossed for everyone being crushed by circumstances beyond their control!
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.
