"For 22 years, I have been the vet in this once-thriving town in
northern NSW, which, as climate change continues to fuel extreme heat,
drought and bushfires, has become hell on Earth.

Here, we are seeing extreme weather events like never before. The other
day we had about eight centimetres of rain in 20 minutes. These
downpours are like rain bombs. They are so ferocious that a farmer lost
all of his fences, and all it did was silt up the dam so he had to use a
machine to excavate the mud."

Cheers,
