You can no longer call it a 'drought' as we havent had any decent rain falls since 1996 and the 'experts' are saying that it would take 5 years of steady rain fall to get them back to the levels prior to this climatic era.This is Victoria 'The Garden State' not W.A. or N.T. but how long will it be until we're a desert as well.
