Cotton farming is the problem. It’s funny how much water the tropical far north of Australia gets, I watched a documentary that said the NT gets Amazon rainforest levels of rainfall and the residents were so happy and were like “we have more water than we know what to do with”. They should figure out a way to pipe it to the east coast, better yet build the Bradfield scheme or modern version of it, that’ll make the entirety of the eastern states fertile land and help with rainfall.

@mattyk82 have you ever been to Melbourne in winter? The wind is diabolical and makes it feel below freezing but yeah you’re right it’s all relative to what you’re used to.

@nooberino2812 Alice Springs and the small towns around it have 30,000 people and that’s smack bang in the red hit centre of the Australian outback 🤷🏻‍♂️

@FeelingShred well funnily enough, after making my comment I did some googling and Queensland state are building a scaled down version of the Bradfield scheme, they’re going to dam the Burdekin river and irrigate thousands of square KM’s of land. Queensland will now have the power to dangle/ on sell water to NSW and VIC during a drought. Very smart of them.

@Neon-ws8er people really downplay Australia’s winters but most haven’t been to Melbourne in July, my Canadian friend was wearing her Canada goose jacket and was shivering and I’m like “Come on” and she said it was the wind that made it feel freezing and that the cold in Canada was “dry”, whatever that meant? Tasmania and Canberra’s suburbs are even colder and regularly get snow every winter. We also have ski fields in the alps, I’m not saying it’s cold compared to Canada or Russia lol but it’s certainly not warm.
