Wow, tough luck. Hopefully things improve there somehow or another. I love Australia, would hate to see it become a desert!

As I said, the Aussies are surrounded by ocean. They need to put on their thinking caps and start investing in technology that will convert salt water to drinkable water, similar to what the Saudis and Israelis are doing. They have the most water in the world if you think about it.

We are thinking about it, from what I have heard, the suggestion has been raised, but it's been shot down. We do have some sort of pipeline project going ahead, though, not exactly sure what it is, though...
