Different regions of Australia experience drought at different times. The drought currently being experienced by the southern regions is the worst on record, and has been going on for 12 years. In Queensland, some areas were drought-declared in August 2002, and are still in drought (October 2008), whereas other regions have had the drought declaration lifted, following good rainfalls earlier in 2008. A similar situation exists in Western Australia, where good farmland has been drought-declared for a number of years, but other areas have received sufficient rain to be taken off the list.
