DROUGHT! Pretty much since I got here (it wasn't me.)
For the last ten years there has been significant drought across almost all of Australia, which came hard on the heels of a seven-year drought. At one point the dam that supplies Sydney was at under 30% capacity. So it was three minute showers all round, two days a week for garden watering, no car washing.
The dam is back up over 60% after the last six months of reasonably good rain, and the restrictions have been lifted a little, but we are still very careful with every drop, because who knows when the next decade-long drought will happen.
