Join Michael Lester from Radio Northern Beaches as he discusses with CSIRO ecologist Dr. Robert Godfree his latest book, Drought Country (CSIRO, 2024). This environmental history spans three centuries of droughts that have profoundly impacted Aboriginal, colonial, and modern societies, shaping the land, water systems, and ecology of Australia. Discover why, despite these devastating lessons, we continue to make the same mistakes—and explore what lies ahead as droughts become more severe and unpredictable. A crucial conversation on the past, present, and future of drought in Australia.
