Before COVID-19, Paul Gripske's family business was suffering.
A wholesaler of spare parts for lawnmowers and other outdoor power tools, its manufacturing arm makes more than 3.5 million mower blades each year.
But the recent drought hit hard.
"We're a grass-driven business. [If the] grass doesn't grow, people certainly don't mow dirt," Mr Gripske tells ABC RN's The Money.
Then, two things happened: It rained in February, and the Government allowed Roy Gripske & Sons to continue operating throughout the pandemic shutdown.
