[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 782324, member: 8192"] On a recent trip up through north- western Queensland we were surprised to see how much parched country there is. We had expected to see the savannah grasslands in pretty good order after winter but a lot of it was black, even the tussocks are gone in places. Cottonseed was being shovelled out by the ton. There's been some great rain systems going through, thanks to the north-west cloudbands, but it's been falling in the same places each time - lots of areas are still very dry. In other cases, there's been just enough rain to ruin the standing dry grass. Our own country is borderline. Old grass ruined but a green tinge in the blackness. The rains are coming very early in the season so let's hope they continue on and fill in all the gaps! We could be in for a monumental wet - if the outlook gets any grander, there is almost guaranteed to be loss of life from cyclones and floods (the forecasters say). [/QUOTE]
