Western Australia Country Hour

Western Australia Country Hour

There have been a number of harvesters destroyed by fire over the past few weeks across Western Australia's agricultural region. Ian Grant's harvester was one month old. It's now a pile of charred metal in his paddock at East Chapman, which is close to Geraldton. The state's main grain handler the CBH Group has been flooded with grain in the last week, with more than 2.8 million tonnes delivered, bringing the total to nine million tonnes. That has the bins at the receival sites bursting at the seams and one site is expected to close later today. There's been lots of rain and flooding in parts of New South Wales. Judy Chaffey says her farm at Gunnedah has received 320 millimetres in the last 20 days.
