not Australia. Like I said months ago on a thread, they are running out of water.
I watched a programme the other day about how theres a big river system over there that supplies many of the farms over there, and its had such bad rain fall, and they made a lot of alterations in the 50s to the way it filters and such, that its now dwindling. There used to be some 55 farms that ran off it, and now theres only 10. If thats the way it is for farming out there, what will it be like for those who need what they supply. Aus is getting overpoulated for what they can sustain Just my thoughts but even the Aussies, are saying they are turning their land into a desert we want to move, have done for a long time.

Canada or NZ for me, might give it a go in a few years. Not that I have anything against the uk, just might fancy a change and I'm pretty nomadic

I was seriously planning this until I lost my job. It's on the back burner now. But I do really want to get somewhere consistently hotter. I'm sick of putting up with things here

I guess they will have to start pumping water over the land from the sea.

![]() In the centre, then yes. But remember Oz is the size of Europe. Bearing in mind that scale, it has only 21 million people! Oz has nothing to worry about in terms of sustainability. Yes its farms have struggled a bit in the last decade, but if you choose to build a farm in a desert then what do you expect ?! Gr33k, just go. Don't think about it. If you change your mind over there, then you'll have only learnt from the experience! |
