Drought is a bastard of a thing. It’s also a fact of life in Australia, especially across the west of Queensland as Lime Cordiale found out on their recent travels. The video takes us on a journey across barren plains, desert, abandoned farms, deserted towns and the life blood of outback life – the local pub.
Originally travelling to North Queensland for a brief run of shows to support the Western Queensland Drought Appeal, the band found themselves extending their trip after witnessing the region’s issues firsthand:
“North Queensland is an amazing part of our country, and the home to some of the most genuine Aussies we’ve ever met. We wanted to really get to know the people we were supporting, so we sat in pubs with them, shared beers with them and heard the heartbreaking stories that come from the ongoing issue of drought. We want to show the beauty of this part of Australia to our audience, which is primary based in urban or coastal areas.”
I’m sure the farmers they met would agree with the sentiment of the track it’s Not That Easy.
