- The year Nineteen Hundred and Nineteeen was one of the driest years we had for a long time, there was scarcely any rain from May day 'till December of that year. All the ponds where cattle used to get water were dried up. People had to cart water to cattle, and for household work in parts of the country, as far as eight miles. Where there were big numbers they had to be driven to the nearest river. A lot of cattle suffered from "murrin" and died, owing to not having water enough on the land.All the crops were very poor that year, corn was not worth cutting, and hay on limestone land was so burned that it could not be cut, it was so short.
