EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dean Lewins, the severity of the drought crisis in New South Wales (NSW), Australia is vividly depicted. The image showcases a staggering number of over 45,000 sheep being sold at the Central West Livestock Exchange sale yards in Forbes on August 14,2018. With NSW being declared 100% drought-stricken, farmers are left with no choice but to offload their precious livestock in record numbers. This heart-wrenching scene serves as a powerful testament to the devastating impact that prolonged dry spells can have on agricultural communities. The red dirt beneath the stockyards stands as a stark reminder of the arid conditions plaguing not only Forbes and Parkes but also vast areas of outback Australia. As farmers grapple with dwindling crops and scarce feed for their animals, they face immense challenges in sustaining their livelihoods. Dean Lewins' photograph encapsulates both the environmental and human interest aspects of this dire situation. It sheds light on the struggles faced by hardworking farmers who must make difficult decisions to ensure their survival during these trying times. This poignant image serves as a call to action for increased support and assistance from government bodies and communities alike. It reminds us all of our collective responsibility to help those affected by natural disasters such as droughts – an issue that continues to plague rural regions across Australia.
