I live in Adelaide South Australia and in the north of our country (Queensland) at the moment we are experiencing severe flooding with thousands of homes inundated with water. There are whole families missing as whole houses were swept away by the force of the water surge and we all hope and pray they are found alive and well, however the reality is that some will not be. The Brisbane River flooded a lot of the CBD early this morning and the news reports say that up to 11,000 houses have been affected by the floods. Our great Aussie spirit is well and truly coming to the fore, with volunteers helping wherever they are needed and acts of kindness abounding.
