The Murray-Darling system is close to collapse.  This is our longest river system and we are simply no longer getting the rainfall in the river's catchment area.  The mouth of the Murray has silted up and has either closed up or is close to it and the large freshwater wetlands there has all but gone.  There has been talk of opening this up to the sea.

Australia will be next...

...afterall, how many second-graders can actively type on a forum such as this?

We know he's in the second grade of course, since nearly all third-graders should know the difference between weather and climate.

Congrats jabailo!  At this rate, by the 5th grade, you'll be a grade-A typer!  Very importanat secretarial skills!  You'll be ensured a great job at any number of business lookin' for skilled typers, I'm sure!

Maybe even a court stenographer!
