Hi I'm Vaughan Semler from Main Damble, North East Victoria. We've been part of a
00:06
third generation farm here. We've never ever in our time, in our grandparents
00:13
time, seen it as dry as this. We are feeding sheep now which are lambing and
00:18
lambing onto dirt. Normally it's green grass, rolling green grass, fat lambs.
00:24
We've nearly run out of hay supplies for our cattle. We're struggling to find hay
00:31
to support the stock and it's unbelievable that we cannot be included in
00:41
drought support in any way at all.
