 Weather Cycles in the Australian Arid Zone.

The unpredictable and long weather cycles of central Australia can make managing a property in this region very challenging. CLMA is here to assist managers by providing resources to develop skills and knowledge for a more productive and environmentally sound rangeland.

Grant Heaslip (one of our founding members) from Bond Springs station, north of Alice Springs shares his short film, documenting life in the arid zone. It brings to life the boom and bust cycles of desert dwelling. The film starts with the drought in the 1960s through to the flooding rains and bushfires that eventually followed.
