Abstract
This paper analyzes Thea Astley’s fourth Miles Franklin award novel ——Drylands from the perspective of the contradiction of drought and water. It depicted a fully-fledged drought and an eminent absence of water. It was the crisis of drought in the tropical small town of Drylands in rural Queensland that forced villagers to flee the arid land and seek refuge in costal or watery areas. Characters’ fate was closely related with drought and water.
