Ground cover is sparse on land outside of Ivanhoe in the far west of New South Wales, Australia. A grey kangaroo is dead along the highway. In times of severe drought, animals are forced to the highway edge to feed because condensation run-off from the road promotes the growth of grass. Drought is severely affecting this region in Australia. The situation is dire for those relying on the Murray-Darling River system. This once majestic river system occupies and supports four of Australia’s several states and in places has been reduced to a mere trickle.
