Lake Bolac It Is Almost Dry

I know that climate change is for real not an environmentalist lie One of Western Victoria's largest lakes Lake Bolac is almost dry Perhaps down to twenty per cent of capacity and dwindling by the day The remaining water in it from the original lake shore now does seem far away. Three hundred metres of dry lake bed having said that maybe more To walk to where the water is from the original lake shore An old time local resident fifteen years with three score Says she has never seen the lake as dry as this before. For our abuse of Nature the price is huge to pay Lake Bolac it is almost dry that does seem sad to say And despite the recent heavy rains rivers at an all time low And in the bare and brown paddocks only thistles seem to grow. Yes climate change it is for real the signs are everywhere The creeks and drains dry as a bone the paddocks brown and bare And old Lake Bolac drying out fast one might say almost dead Old el nino is still around and tough times times are ahead.
