Information sheet:

A drought is a abnormal long dry period, when there is below-average rainfall in a particular region. It also relates to low precipitation.

As Australia is located in the South Hemisphere, it is also called "Down under". Most of it's places are scorching hot, and deserts are found in large numbers.

In 2006, a drought seriously wrecked Tasmania. Tasmania, also known as Tas/ Tassie, did not have enough precipitation for everyone to use. Stock feed became scarce and farmers found it difficult to feed cattle and sheep. However, t he drought in Sydney eased around April 2008. Unfortunately,  Victoria remained drought affected, with Melbourne's water supplies dipping to around 30% by July 2008. Water was a very precious element to them.
