EMUS have invaded Longreach as extreme weather of drought and flooding rains engulfs the Sunshine State.
Locals have dubbed it an “emu-rgency”, while forecasters predict rain in coming days will offer a welcome break from a scorching 45-degree heatwave and seven-year dry spell.
“It’s very unusual,’’ local Betty Forster, an ex-drover and emu-lover, said yesterday.
“But it’s been so bloody hot and dry.
“We’ve got big mobs of thirsty emu, brolga, jabiru and kangaroo coming into town, looking for a feed and a drink.
“Poor buggers, there’s nothing left out bush for them.’’
