Turon River Revives Sofala After Drought

0:00Here's more Sydney news for March 6th. Heavy rain has finally revived the Turan River in Safala, a small town in Central West New South Wales. After four months bone dry, the river started flowing strong within minutes of the downpour. This comes as a huge relief to locals who depend on it heavily. The town has no mains water supply, so residents rely on tanks and the river. When it dried up just before Christmas, tourism took a big hit during the busy holiday season. Neighbors stayed away, hurting local businesses. During the dry spell, the community pulled together. Neighbors carted water to those running short, including for cattle and sheep farmers whose troughs and springs had emptied. Folks who have lived there for decades called it the worst drought in living memory. Now, business owner Justin Cleakhorn and farmer Dave Murray are beaming with joy. Cleakhorn watched the water rush by during lunch, while Murray said it brightens everyone's outlook. For them, the river means life itself. Locals are gearing up for Easter visitors and hoping more rain keeps the flow going.
