  South-eastern Australia's climate is ideal for cows as they like cool to warm temperatures and areas where there is plenty of water to grow the rich pastures that they love to eat. Dairy farms are also found inland, where water for irrigation is available, and pastures are easy to grow. This is also the prime location for our most recent innovation.
| All states and territories have dairy industries that supply fresh drinking milk and yogurt to nearby cities and towns. Although dairy farms can be found all over Australia, milk is produced mainly in the traditionally higher rainfall areas in the south-eastern corner of Australia (80% in the three states of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania). This is where most of the cheese, ice cream and other dairy products are produced.
