Town for sale

Got a spare 3.5 billion dollars? If so, you could pick up the NSW Riverina town of Coleambally, and its generous water supply.

The head of the Coleambally Irrigation Area is offering up the town, because he says he doesn't want to see it die a slow, lingering death, and he says Coleambally has already sold off five per cent of its water.

Chairman of the Colleambally Irrigation Area
