Australia s devastating mouse plague has been laid bare in a gut-wrenching photo showing about a dozen rodents dead in a rural resident s tank that supplies their drinking water.
Louise Hennessy uncovered the horrifying sight when she went to inspect her water tank filter at her property on Thursday at Elong Elong in the New South Wales central west - a region where mice have been ravaging crops.
Ms Hennessey posted an image of the dead mice and clumps of fur tangled in the filter to social media as health authorities begged residents to take precautions to protect themselves against the potentially fatal disease leptospirosis.
