    Not an Ex Pat but of sorts are ! LOL
    Anyway James it seems that although we have had more rain, the BOM is now at last predicting that this Wet spell will now slowly come to an end, so hopefully they are correct, here up in the Blue Mountains, Yesterday was the first day for Yonks, and there should be a good Sunny and Warm Week ahead, thank the Lord, as its been Cold and Wet , Windy too.

    Hope i may be able to get a few things done now , small jobs that have been put aside for Months now! Catch up time!
    Cheers

    To most of the world it may look as if the end of the world has come to Oz.
    But for most people outside of oz they only have the media to guide them.

    What has occurred over the last few months is nothing new, though some records may have been broken many more have not.
    Much of Oz is below sea level and the floods you see ae al on what are nothing more than natural flood plains.

    Problem is local councils over time have given permission for people to build on such lands.

    Just outside of Cober Peady in South Australia is the 'painted desert'.
    It shows that much of Oz some few million years ago had a massive inland sea.

    As the poem goes,
    'I love sunburned country
    A land of sweeping plains
    Of rugged mountain ranges
    Of droughts and flooding rains'

    Having had three consecutive La Nina, the floods, events we are now told we could have an El Nino to follow, the droughts. .
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
