OLD MACDONALD PROJECTS DROUGHT RECOVERIES

According to the New South Wales Government, the drought they have been experiencing for the past four years is finally easing up. The number of drought declared areas in the state have dropped from 27% last month to 18% says Ian Macdonald, Primary Industries Minister. "There's a lot more high moral out there than there has been for a period of time. The problem is we can't really say the drought's over until we see what pans out over this rather hot summer we may be expecting,” says Ian.
