Just had to put this in here, from the NY Times columnist, Tom Friedman:
"The Aussie ‘Big Dry’"
"Almost everywhere you travel these days, people are talking about their weather — and how it has changed. Nowhere have I found this more true, though, than in Australia, where “the big dry,” a six-year record drought, has parched the Aussie breadbasket so severely that on April 19, Prime Minister John Howard actually asked the whole country to pray for rain. “I told people you have to pray for rain,” Mr. Howard remarked to me, adding, “I said it without a hint of irony.”
"And here’s what’s really funny: It actually started to rain! "
