It's early here still, and Autumn is definitely on its way. The mornings are getting cooler, which is nice indeed, though the days are still exceedingly warm.
Up here in Queensland, we've been suffering from major calamitous floods, with the northern half of our wonderful state still cut off from the southern half by a small ocean of water. Victoria might have its bushfires, but we have part of one of the many oceans that surrounds our country, trying to cut our state in half.
Last week's flooding here in the Caboolture Shire wasn't the first such flood I've had recently. This Summer season has been very much hotter than we've had in a long time, and while New South Wales certainly has heat, it is, at least, a DRY heat. Unlike our sticky, muggy, awful heat that we have here in Queensland.
Leading up to last week's flood, we'd had a good few weeks of pretty much constant rain, too, and we are in for more as of today. Between last week and this, we will have had about two days of sunshine. I just hope that my back yard has had time to drain a little.
Here in Queensland, we have one of the highest levels of humidity. It causes many cyclones and much horrific storms.
Rain down south (ie south of the Queensland border) is nothing, compared to what we get up here in what is supposed to be the Sunshine State.
That said, our lovely state is 150 years old this year. One Hundred And Fifty Years of NOT being under New South Wales rule. Now that is definitely something to celebrate!
Roll on party time!
