No longer a Sunburnt Country! A quick update on the Queensland floods. Brisbane and surrounding regions have moved into the clean up phase. The waters are receding. Better news, as such, from grim predictions of 70+ missing revised down; 16 dead and 50 missing. The wild weather system has passed with fine days forecast. Australians are very resilient with a high community spirit in tough times. 86 towns and cities are affected; 17,000 homes inundated. However, other states are now experiencing floods. Good grief. Victorian countryside have severe flooding, and I think Tasmania and South Australia have some problems also. On my local front; our region 100km south of Brisbane was not affected; however there is a knock-on affect of goods and services being curtailed and we are experiencing food shortages in the supermarkets. Some panic buying was not useful! I am about to head out to a farmers' market of local growers. I have plenty of meat in the freezer and the pantry is always well stocked in this household!
Must run, Hugs to all Bronnie
