Body

The 1994 drought in south-eastern Australia and a number of other synergistic factors contributed to a high frequency of wind erosion events on the rangelands of the Hay plain. A multi-disciplinary and multi- agency approach was developed for an extensive wind-erosion awareness campaign. A post-drought evaluation of landholder strategies and attitudes and the extension methods used was undertaken. This survey material and other drought information was then packaged together to provide a framework for the management of future droughts.
