In case anyone is interested (you should be, in a general and food security sense), here is the kind of information I'm dealing with as a board member of Dairy NSW. Dairy is just one agricultural sector that DPIRD has done climate vulnerability assessments for.

A word of advice: *do not* accidentally wash your expensive LEDLenser head torch with your clothes. You will *fuck* the battery, even after a night of the battery and torch sitting in a tub of rice.
I've ordered a new battery, and I *think* it will work again. TBC.

Just rural road things.

Dairy. 3am. Bega is on the other side of the hill.

That’s an efficient day’s work done. 0400-0930 with the cows at the farm, then home to harvest a fallen tree, stacking the logs in storage, and then splitting a week of firewood and bringing it to the rack by the back door.
It hasn’t rained in a few weeks, so I’m also dropping about 10,000l of water from our header tanks up the hill to the house, but gravity is doing the work there; I just need to watch the gauge and shut the valve when it’s time.
