Loads of tree were torn down and replaced with European modelled farms. Water has been diverted from rivers to irrigate areas which don't have the rainfall for crops. Seems crazy now, why plant crops if the water isn't there?
We have no nuclear power here, so a lot of power is from dirty brown coal in open mines. China is building coal mines all over the place but its cleaner black coal. Perhaps we should have Springfield 3 headed fish instead of coal ...
Still, Aus has 2 seasons for most of the land mass. The very dry or the very wet season. Perhaps its normal to have a 100 or 200 period of sustained drought?
