On Abbadoah Station, the Moody family has been feeding stock for seven years.
He is 26, a fourth generation grazier, and alongside his family manages more than 50,000 hectares near Cunnamulla, in south-west Queensland.
Unfortunately that came again before the country had time to recover.
Back-to-back droughts Cunnamulla has only received its annual average rainfall of 375 millimetres in 11 of the last 20 years.
Exodus of younger generation More concerning to Mr Godfrey is the exodus of the next generation.
"Some of our best people have left, and a lot of our young people are thinking about it," he said.
"There was no money coming in in the end, that was the decision that was worrying me," Mr Martin said.
"So we made the decision that we’d sell the cattle, and then we said, ‘We’ve only got eight or 12 months and we’ve got to do something else, otherwise we’ll lose the place’."
Generations after his grandfather first took up country in the Cunnamulla district, Jesse and his family are still hopeful about the future.
"If we can get some reasonable — even average — seasons there’s a good future here," Michael Moody said.
