| The drought is dragging on in the Murray-Darling Basin, and spring is unlikely to break it. |
In a presentation yesterday, climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, Dr David Jones, said that the Federation drought (1891-1903) and the World War II drought were similar to this one.
The variable nature of droughts makes them hard to compare as everyone experiences drought differently, and not everywhere is currently experiencing its worst drought.
