Locust Swarms Plague Australia


From the BBC News:


Vast swarms of locusts have been spotted in Condobolin, Wagga, Gundagai and Narrandera - some up to six kilometres long.


New South Wales Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald talks about the government's preparations to deal with them.


Locusts feed mainly on green vegetation. New South Wales is approaching its harvesting season, and in some areas, this is the first successful crop after years of drought.
