New South Wales Drier - 60% Of State Now In Drought As Winter Approaches

New figures show the big dry is getting worse across New South Wales - with 60 per cent of the state being classified as in drought.

This includes the western district, which takes in Broken Hill and Wilcannia, while Wanaaring in the Darling district is classified as being in marginal drought.

Primary Industries Minister Ian MacDonald says the figures are a worry.
