Neil Clydesdale takes a hay bale past his dead cattle to feed the rest of his herd. He thinks he's lost thirty in all. And he has to buy hay for the remainder, because the pastures they usually feed on have been burnt black. The Attree family had to make a hasty retreat when the fires appeared suddenly on New Year's Day. When they returned, they were faced with eleven dead cattle and another nine were so badly injured they had to be euthanised. They're relying on donated hay for the rest of the herd. They've vowed to rebuild, but, to get up and running again, they'll need rain. 2019 was Australia's hottest and driest year on record and the bush fire itself is likely to stretch water resources even further. There's good reason to think that damage could get even worse because even though huge areas have been burnt out, there are still plenty of tinder-dry places that could go up between now and the end of the bush fire season.
