WTF Australia??

Guess what natural disaster is currently rampaging across the top half of New South Wales? 

Go on, guess!

Did you guess flood? A gold star for you.

Now guess what the latest threat from the fires down in Victoria is? 

Contamination of Melbourne's very marginal water supplies.

Oh Australia, you are so hilarious!

An update post on the Victorian fires later tonight, and for anyone wondering when the plague of locusts is going to descend, that was last November.

Honestly, don't mention the toads.

We've already had to kiss Queensland and New South Wales goodbye.

mere is right about the toads ...

Happily the only rain of blood has been Red Cross donations.

One of my friends here in Brisbane works for the red cross taking blood and she has been run off her feet with all the people wanting to donate blood.

Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago, due to the heat and the airconditioning failing the donations van they had to dispose of quite a bit of blood.
