As you can see in this photograph, I wasn't kidding when I said the bush was tinder-dry. I pulled off the Western Highway between Nhill and Ararat in Victoria to take this shot. The windmill was turning faithfully, but the cloudy sky held no promise of rain. Because of the drought, the ground is straw-coloured, as far as the eye can see.
