Could this have something to with that thing people have been talking about...what was it called again...global something...Global Change?
In the once-lush fields of South Australia, on land that borders the state's world famous Lower Lakes, farmer Nigel Treloar rounds up the herd with the help of his off-road motorbike. It is one of the few things that has got easier as a result of Australia's worst drought in 100 years.
That is because he used to have 800 cows and now he only milks 250. There is not enough irrigation water from the nearby lakes to sustain a bigger herd.
The options we have shrink by the week because there's less water in the system. Look, things are really grim."
