Farmers in one of the driest parts of the wheatbelt are very disappointed in the rain associated with this week's cold front.

Romolo Patroni is the Shire President of Yilgarn, he also farms at Marvel Loch in the eastern wheatbelt. "Very disappointing with the way the cold front came through." "The predictions that were being made as far as rainfall was concerned we expected to get at least somewhere between 10 and 20 millimetres but I think generally the area only received between four and six millimetres."

Tomorrow, the moon will move across the sun and, for a few minutes after 8:00am Central Standard Time, an aptly named "ring of fire" will be visible.

Astronomer Melissa Hulbert says only people in and around Tennant Creek, about 1,000 kilometres south of Darwin, will see the full spectacle.

A farmer who has been grazing his cattle on a stock route for months on the Liverpool Plains in north-west NSW says he has little choice but to stay there. Neville Hicks has properties at Nowendoc and Werris Creek but he's been holding watch over 250 bullocks, steers and cows in the long paddock of the Kamilaroi Highway near Breeza since Christmas.

He says he's having trouble off-loading his stock because the abattoirs are full and prices are low.
