Australian floods

As I type this North Eastern Queensland is underwater. I read that an area 7 times the size of Texas is flooded. Many people are lost many, many more are under threat. When I was last home it had barely rained for ten years. It all seems so unbelievable. Australia is most certainly a land of droughts and flooding rains.

My cousin had this photo on her facebook from the floods. Its a green frog hitching a ride on the back of a snake. Amazing!

  2. There have been floods in Victoria too, but Melbourne is ok. It has been mostly country towns in the North West.
