Further Queensland Shires are Declared Drought Affected
Although we hear a lot about the drought in South East Queensland here in Hervey Bay it’s hard to imagine that other parts of the state are running short on water. However Queensland really is in the grip of a drought and it’s not just the south east.
Kilcoy and Esk Shires have down been drought declared and that brings the total to 64 shires, parts of five others shires and 200 individually affect properties in a further 15 shires. All up that totals a little over 60% of the state that is now in the grip of drought.
