STONEHENGE, Australia (Reuters) - Stonehenge is dry and has been for too long - seven years too long.
You can taste the dust well before you cross the cattle grids that cut the only road into town. More than 1,700 km (1,056 miles) northwest of Sydney, Australia's Stonehenge could not be more different from its famous namesake, the World Heritage prehistoric monument of Stonehenge in England. Stonehenge in England averages 10 days a month of rainfall and a maximum temperature of 22 degrees Celsius (72 Fahrenheit).
