Answer 2

It sure looks in a bad way

Answer 3

thats a year old

Answer 4

yeah kinda

in the deserts and outback sure it is really dry - some kids have never seen rain but also in some parts there have been floods and it is still a drought

i live in brisbane and we r on level 6 water restrictions so we are not allowed to use more than 140 litres of water a day

at the moment the community of South East Queensland is using an average of 123 litres a day

we arent allowed to wash cars, water gardens, hose driveways, use sprinklers etc. etc

it has been tough but im used 2 it now
