Drought ..

There are, of course, many images from NSW that I could choose.

(near Scone)

(near Sofala)

(Carcoar Dam, near Bathurst)

Drought is a relative term.
(near Leeton)

Have to say, though, that the relativities between South Australia and New South Wales .. are somewhat markedly different.

Yes, there has been "recent rains" in the Murray-Darling river system .. but now NSW is 'crying poor'. One headline reads 'SOUTH AUSTRALIA WANTS OUR WATER'. Yer, well ...

Ancient single new age traveler. You Southies should build desalination plants with your unearned cash looted from the GST funds paid by us in New South Wales.

Yer, well, Vestie .. Budgewoi ain't that far away. Might whizz down and buy you a beer (as distinct from the monumental inefficiency of yer NSW Gummint .. heh.)

HodeHo, Vestie. Nowt wrong with desiring quality treads. Was a toss-up between a new set of decent footwear ($180) and tyres for the motor vehicle. I can go barefoot .. motor vehicle can't .. heh.

Vestie .. water practicality depends on who invades/intsalls/ sets up their colony on the high ground and headwaters of any river system. Stands to reason.

The colony of South Australia was set up by a consortium of independent businessmen who had no truck with ? 'prisoners', 'slavery'?.

It grew and prospered. South Australia does have a primary problem. it's called the River Murray. All the shit dumped into the Murumbigie, Darling, Laughlan .... may .. or may not ..

end up in South Australia.

So .. discussable point ..
