Turf Terminators

Yes, it could be that the days of the traditional English lawn in Australia as well as Los Angeles are numbered.

It's interesting that Turf Terminators were paid to replace lawns with drought resistant plants rather than indigenous species. It seems to me they missed a golden opportunity to not only deal with the drought but also provide wildlife habitat. Never mind, I'm confident there will be other opportunities.

It also seems that people weren't motivated to do anything about reducing the amount of water they poured into their gardens until it cost them nothing. Ah, the power of money to motivate.

Also a variation of the Los Angeles model could be applied in Australia where tax payers have funded the destruction of huge areas of bushland. The federal government would do well to ensure that tax payers seriously fund the protection & restoration of bushland. We might then see a more viable agriculture sector.
