His experience put him decades ahead of his contemporaries - who satirised him as the discoverer of the inland sea - in understanding the Australian climate. When he attempted to adapt the pattern of settlement to climatic reality by defining the border of the zone of reliable rainfall, his repeated warnings about the threat of drought were scorned.SurveyorsAustraliaSouth AustraliaArchitecture and climateAustraliaSouth AustraliaEnvironmentalistsAustraliaSouth AustraliaRain and rainfallAustraliaSouth AustraliaGoyder's Line (S.A.)SurveyorsArchitecture and climateEnvironmentalistsRain and rainfall994.232Sheldrick Janis M.1537194MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794012603321Nature's line3786365UNINA
