COONABARABRAN, AUSTRALIA - OCTOBER 01: Farmers Emily Doolan and Joe Read are married in the Catholic Church in Coonabarabran on October 01, 2020 in Coonabarabran, Australia. During the height of Australia’s recent drought the Doolan family, who are 4th generation farmers, property turned to dust. After consistent rains this year across NSW the property has rebounded. During the worst of the drought, both the children of Ambrose and Lisa Doolan, Brett and Emily, returned home to work on the farm. Emily now resides on the property next door, and was today married to Joe Read, another local farmer. The wedding had been delayed first due to drought, then COVID-19. The newlyweds returned home to their small house amongst the now lush fields. In a major turnaround for the family, Ambrose was recently appointed the mayor of Coonabarabran. Farmers across NSW are enjoying a bumper harvest following drought breaking rains during the Australian winter. Above average rainfall between March and August has helped NSW emerge out of a prolonged drought, with winter crop production expected to increase year on year by 60 per cent. The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting a ‘La Niña’ weather pattern in the coming months, which further increases the prospects of consistent rainfall across the country.
