seaside town of Kiama, Jamberoo Valley has had a remarkably wet year, with nearly 900mm of rain in a single month.

But the rise in land values in recent years means dairy farms are now worth more as real estate than for their agricultural production value. Prices have hit as much as $20,000 an acre in the valley as a result of the voracious housing demand that accelerated as the pandemic forced people to rethink their city lives.
