Pastoralists hail end of dry​

Rawlinna Station manager Jimmy Wood said southern parts of the 1 million hectare station had received more than 150mm as of Sunday, which followed 92mm on Australia Day.

"It hasn't been long between drinks for us," he said.

"We had a big flood on Australia Day and I thought, that's it, no one will see that again for another 10 years.

"But barely a month later and here we are again."

Chloe Grainger, from the neighbouring Kanandah Station, said pastoralists had been battling drought conditions for a decade.

"It's been a long time since a rainfall event like this," she said.

"Surely it's drought-breaking. This is it. We're coming out the other end surely, it looks awesome.

"Everyone's relieved and it's great to see the land get what it needs."
