Most people I met around the world look to Australia as providing the ideal climate. I wonder if they’re watching the news now to see the extremes of weather that we seem to oscillate between, though never so severe as this before.
It’s been raining for the past week in Sydney and heavy, flooding rain is on its way. In Victoria, but a blip on the map from Sydney, fires have claimed hundreds of lives and more homes. In the other direction, in Queensland, floods have isolated communities and done major damage to properties and livestock.
