As Australia prepares to harvest its biggest ever cotton crop, the spin-off of the record crop is showing on economies of the small cotton growing towns.
Workers from all parts of the world are flocking to Australia to help pick the four million bales of cotton harvest.
These workers are expected to spend a large part of their savings on essential items, which is also expected to help the town businesses prosper.
The spin-off will also mean more business for agriculture equipment and machinery suppliers in the cotton producing states.
