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*

At least when it comes to making small talk at parties, the weather is actually an interesting subject... also, guaranteed job security for meterologists and climate scientists.

Both more in the small mercy category rather than the saving grace.

Hilarious in that not-at-all-funny and you-can-stop-this-shit-any-time-kthanks sort of way. *hugs*

My heart goes out to all. Stay safe.

*reads comments*

*is glad to live in Canada*

Austalia is the land of the fearless, isn't it? I have many fears. Especially spiders. I think I'll stay here where the biggest threat I face is the squirrel on the laundry line and the raccoon on my neighbours roof who won't come down if the backyard light is on...

Anyway, I was just thinking about you last night and wondering how you were doing. :)

The world is topsy-turvy even more in your part.

The only time I watch the news is when Im at work, but gosh Australia really is getting it all isn't it, well our side of the map anyway. I hope the floods aren't affecting you too much.

More people should live in WA, I keep saying this. It is nice here, and the toads are still very far north.

I think all our rain-wishes were misdirected...

WTF! I guesses right

But you already had crocodiles, snakes and spiders.

You forgot the box jellyfish, blue ringed octopus, stonefish and scorpions.


wondering when the plague of locusts is going to descend, that was last November.


It's good you can laugh but then again I guess sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

WTF I mean comon give you guys a break. Had frogs yet?
