IMG_7705_flood.jpg On Saturday 6th March 2010, Melbourne was hit by the worst tropical storm they had experienced in over 100 years. It started with a hail storm, with hail 12cm across (the size of lemons) followed by torrential rain. $millions of damage was caused and many of the cities streets were flooded causing chaos to transport. Whilst they were glad of the water in this drought stricken land, it seems yet further evidence of the impact of climate change which is resulting in more severe weather in many areas.

IMG_7307_electricity.jpg Melbourne city at night from the viewing platform in the Eureka Tower, the highest viewing platform in the Southern hemisphere, Victoria, Australia. Like all modern cities it is utterly dependant on electricity, in Australia, nealry 90% of this is generated from coal fired power plants.

IMG_2227_drought.jpg Most of Victoria and New South Wales in Australia has been in the grip of an unprecedented drought for the last ten years. River levels have dropped and reservoirs are at a fraction of their capacity. Lake Eildon was created to provide irrigation water, but the last time it was full was in 1995. The day the shot was taken it was at 29% capacity with levels down around 75 feet. This area has not been underwater for years and locals have taken to driving their off road vehicles across it.

IMG_2347_water security.jpg A controversial pipeline has been constructed to take water from Lake Eildon to Melbourne to help Melbournes water supply during the drought. It is not popular with the local residents who have seen Lake Eildon drop to unprecedented low levels even before the pipeline was constructed, due to a devastating drought.

IMG_2404_stocking rates.jpg Sheep on a farm near Shepperton in Victoria, Australia on dried up land. Most of Victoria and New South Wales have been gripped by the worst drought in living memory for the last 15 years. Stocking rates on many farms in these areas have dropped dramatically as the land can no longer grow sufficient grass to support as many animals as it used to. This has lead to many farms becoming less profitable and some farmers having to abandon the land altogether.
