  • An Australian woman won a Swedish competition for the "World's Ugliest Lawn."
  • The competition was launched to promote global water conservation.
  • Kathleen Murray said she relies on "nature's lawn mowers," like wallabies, kangaroos, and echidnas. 

Not everyone would consider it a compliment, but an Australian woman is thrilled after an international panel gave her the "World's Ugliest Lawn" award.
