When it comes to droughts, Sidney Kinsey has seen it all. But the fuel salesman from the tiny town of Nevertire, in the central west of NSW, says this one is like no other.

Dust storms have been tearing through the town weekly.

Mr Kinsey, 69, said this was the worst drought he had lived through and even though he knew it will break one day, the township is devastated by the damage already caused.

"This drought has just been hanging around too long," said Mr Kinsey, who was born and bred in Nevertire.
