Qld: Tourist capital prays for rain
The Gold Coast city council has asked churchgoers to pray for rain this weekend.
But Mayor GARY BAILDON would like all Australians to come together in prayer as droughtis affecting 90 per cent of the country.
He's also suggesting a mass car washing -- because it normally rains when you've justwashed your car.
The Gold Coast city council has sent letters to 200 churches asking congregations toseek divine intervention to end the severe drought.
Lack of water has deprived beach visitors of showers and prevented residents from usingtheir sprinklers in the city surrounded by rivers, canals and ocean.
But Mayor BAILDON says good rain in the past week shows some prayers are already being answered.
