Photos reveal Queensland cotton farms full of water while Darling River runs dry

Over the border in NSW, the Barwon and Darling rivers are a series of muddy pools, and fish are dying

These photos were taken by the Centre Alliance senator Rex Patrick from a light plane over southern Queensland near Goondiwindi, on Wednesday.

They show rivers such as the Condamine relatively full, and storages on cotton farms holding thousands of megalitres of water.
