The "big wet" continues!



The flood waters in Victoria continue unabated.   Their journey across the dry river and creek beds and waterways is relentless.  And this is all before the floodwaters from Queensland arrive in our river systems.

Our hearts go out to all those in the areas that have been inundated with flood waters, as those who are anxiously waiting for the rivers to peak and then subside.   The major Banks have now opened their books to accepting donations for the Victorian Flood Appeal so we would urge you to spare a little, even a few dollars - they'll go a long way to helping these people as they grapple with incredible odds.   (The National Bank; Westpac; the Commonwealth Bank (Red Cross) and undoubtedly the Bendigo Bank - although we're not certain of the latter, as yet).  Giving donations through the Banks ensures that receipts are written and handed to the donor, thus giving some form of security that the money will go to the right department/agency.

  1. So horrible for the environment and the people affected as well.
    On the other side of the country we have fires and extreme heat...

  2. A land of contradictions! Climate or weather seem intent on keeping us guessing.
