DROUGHT RAVAGES AUSTRALIA - C Wayne Cole - May 1966

C Wayne Cole

The PLAIN TRUTH Staff in Sydney, after a 1000-mile survey of some of the country's worst drought area, reports what might become the most disastrous drought ever. To the two and one -quarter million residents of the sprawling metropolis of Sydney the word DROUGHT means little. There is only the inconvenience of not being able to wash the family car with a hose, or water the lawn except between 5 and 8 p.m. But to the man on the land, drought takes on stark reality. Its spectre is barren pastures, dried-up tanks and reservoirs, the stench of dead sheep and cattle, withering crops and blinding, choking clouds of dust. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
