EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Dean Lewins, we are confronted with the harsh reality of the devastating drought that has plagued New South Wales. The image features Wayne Dunford, a resilient crop and livestock farmer from Gunningbland, standing amidst his failed barley crop in Parkes' Central West region. The photograph serves as a powerful symbol of the immense challenges faced by farmers like Dunford as they battle against nature's relentless grip. With New South Wales being declared 100% drought affected, it is evident that these hardships have reached unprecedented levels. As Dunford holds up a stunted barley stalk, its shriveled form speaks volumes about the scarcity of water and feed for both cattle and sheep in the parched outback landscape. The red dirt beneath his feet stands testament to the arid conditions that have left farms barren and livelihoods hanging in the balance. This image not only highlights an environmental crisis but also sheds light on pressing social issues surrounding rural communities. It captures our attention, urging us to empathize with those whose lives depend on successful crops and healthy livestock. Dean Lewins' photograph encapsulates both despair and resilience within its frame—a visual reminder of how climate change can impact human lives directly. As we witness this scene unfold before us, it becomes clear that immediate action must be taken to support these farmers who tirelessly work to feed our nation while battling against forces beyond their control.
