85% of New South Wales (a state on the east coast of Australia) is in drought. This is our main farming area. If the drought continues it will affect our ecconomy and will force farmers to give up their farms and get a regular job.
A large part of Australia is desert, however a large part is also viable farming land.
Praying for rain in all the right places!!

There have always been droughts in Australia. We have an El Niño at the moment which is likely to break in March so we should see reasonable rain by then if not before. While this is the worst drought on record in some areas, in many areas there have been worse droughts in the past.

I may be a bit thick-but.
I believe that large parts of Australia are Desert.
Deserts are known for being short on rainfall and thus dry.
Dry equal drought.
