Most of Queensland and northern New South Wales is flooded again urgodschild. Monsoon season brought a downpour right up north so most of the places that flooded just on 2 years ago have again flooded, some worse this time around. It is heartbreaking to see some of the stories emerging - some people hadn't even recovered completely from the last flood, were still getting their homes built and fixed up, many were uninsured so they are at breaking point. The hardest to watch is the devastation of the Lockyer Valley which had the flash flood 2 years ago where many lives were lost. At least this year they didn't have the flash flood and many were able to evacuate but the mess left behind is unbelievable. And the animals caught up in both the floods and the fires.... the images we are seeing are so sad

Come down to Victoria and there is still a couple of big bushfires raging in Central Vic. Thankfully the bushfires in Tasmania are out and the townships in the south are slowly trying to rebuild their lives. But we really can't get too complacent because our HOT weather hasn't come yet - from beginning Feb through to beginning March is our worst time.
