A shocking week in Australia

I cannot believe what a terrible week it has been in Australia weather wise.

We have the floods and huge rainfall in Far North QLD , and then the EXTREME heat and now fires in Victoria and NSW.There has been so many deaths in small towns in country Victoria.Some sick person lit these fires , and now there are all these unnessesary deaths. 65 people have died so far, and they are saying there is many more.

Well things are going to be interesting up here in the next couple of weeks.The flooding in Ingham isn't moving, no trucks/ trains can't get through with food, supplies etc to Cairns and surrounds.Our supermarket has no fruit and veges left, cheese, canned foods etc. They are saying it could be weeks till the road/rail south is open again.Depending on how long the water takes to subside, and then the damage to the roads and rail.Holy moly......and the wet season has really only started.We ahve till the end of April.Another 2 and half months of sloppy , squelchy mud.
Might have to go out and invest in some gumboots me thinks.

Hope all my buddies in the southern part of Australia are staying safe and cool.Love to you all
