Queensland is now in the throws of its second major significant flood in the space of three months.
In January we had Tropical Cyclone Seth hit just north of Brisbane, but impact very badly on Brisbane in the form of cyclonic winds and hail.
In February, Brisbane flooded. Worse than 2011. Worse than 1974. In fact, the last flood to be as bad was back in 1863!
Shortly after Brisbane flooded, Lismore, in the Northern Rivers area of northern New South Wales, was pretty much wiped off the face of the Earth. The ENTIRE town flooded.
A month later, Lismore flooded again.
This week has seen Townsville (far north Queensland) all the way down to the Queensland/New South Wales border flood, and out as far west as Goondiwindi.
Will it ever end?
Prior to the floods, back in December of 2019, we had bushfires that raged across much of the Eastern Coast and some of the Western Coast of Australia, then Covid-19 rocked our world for two years straight (although it is still here, but the floods have become more important news just now).
So much for Australia being "the Lucky Country"!
