These large flightless
birds have been mobbing the streets
of Broken Hill, “an outback
mining town in New South Wales.” They’ve been
raiding gardens and invading football
fields. Residents have been assisting them the
best they can, as they themselves struggle with
feeding livestock.
Rainfall has
been at record lows within regions of New South
Wales. This can become a dire situation,
as this “populous state” normally “produces
about a quarter of the country’s agricultural
output.”
