'We're running out of trees, we're running out of feed and we're running out of cattle': Young people from drought-affected communities have gathered to talk about solutions

For Pat Blomfield, the drought means more work and more danger on his family's cattle property near Gunnedah.

Pat and his family backed that up by laying pipelines from the property's bore to each of its paddocks and by increasing the size of its dams. Elly Byriell of Breeza Plains, also in the Liverpool Plains, said her family had sold off all their cattle as of last week, including their studs, wasting generations of selective breeding.

The Minister for Mental Health, Regional Youth, and Women Bronwyn Taylor attended the opening on behalf of the premier. She said the state government was "really keen" to hear the recommendations of the summit to be released on Friday. "We can sit in parliament and make decisions and do all those sorts of things but the most powerful things come from communities themselves," she said.
