And for Bungowannah farmer Michael Dunn it all comes down to "adapting" and living in the "lucky country".
"Our farm has been in the Dunn family since about 1870 and although it is dry out here like everywhere else, we are lucky where we are," he said.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"We run sheep primarily and some cattle but we have learnt to adapt to the dry conditions and are now supplementary feeding all our animals.
"You don't have to go far north or west from here to really see the impacts of the drought but it also shows you the need to really adapt your farming to suit the conditions."
Mr Dunn's six-year-old daughter Edwina said the best thing about the farm is the "freedom".
"She loves the farm, her mum and me split our time with her so she gets the best of both worlds," Mr Dunn said.
"She is only young but there is something about growing up on a farm, it just gives her room to explore and create.
"I hope she has an interest in the farm one day as it has been in our family a long time.
"But we will wait and see. She is a fire-cracker."
