'In the south-west of WA, Estelle Rowcliffe Carlson has just taken a 60
kilometre round trip to take a shower at her local leisure centre.
She has run out of water – a reality she, and many others, thought would never
be the case, living in one of the wettest parts of the state.
"I thought we would always have enough," she said.
It's not just showering that's become a challenge.
She also can no longer wash her clothes at home, and is borrowing water from
neighbouring properties for dishes, the garden and looking after her animals.
"We rely solely on rainwater, and we've come to the end of our tank," she said.
"At the moment, we're taking our washing to a friend who's on scheme water and
doing it there.'
Cheers,
