From ground level, Australia's drought looks like a big cloud of dry dust, but from the air it transforms into an array of colour and texture as the land cracks under the sun.

Photographer David Gray explained to Reuters TV that the drought Australia is experiencing is the worst since 1946. From travelling the region of New South Wales, Gray has heard farmers from different generations report that the Australian soil hasn't been this dry in over 100 years.

Images and videos from his drone show exactly how severe the drought has become for farmers. Gray decided to take the snaps from the sky because the aerial view highlights just how bad the situation is.
