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.

One of the reasons I left NSW was because the locusts kept eating my garden. *cries*

Honestly, if you didn't live here, you wouldn't really believe it, yeah?

*headdesk*

WTF Huey!

*makes flaily fists at sky*

I have grasshoppers noshing away here. Little hopping buggers.

I used to be very blasé about things and was often heard to say 'Oh, in Kenya ...' or 'Oh, in India ...' or 'Actually, in Wales ...' But over the last few years I have been forced into the realisation that Australia is just bloody weird.
