Flood update.

       The floods here is Queensland are pretty epic. Like most things in Australia, if it's hard core elsewhere, it's epically hard core here. The floods are no exception. While it's not flooding in Northern Queensland where I live we are still effected in that the supermarkets are almost empty. No lettuce, tomatoes, infact most fruit and veg are gone save for apricots and plums. No meat, the milk is gone too. The trucks are now driving inland to deliver food up north. If you go to the local market on Sunday you can get food. There really is plenty here locally save for lettuce and the odd vegetable. North Queensland is an oasis of tropical fruit, so no shortage there.

    The images of these floods are pretty shocking too:

           It's unbelievable the magnitude of these floods. Some footage of the flash floods in Toowoomba: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYUpkPTcqPY at about a minute in it all starts to go crazy. I've never seen anything like this in my life. It must be horrifying for the people living there. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

       Many people are coming together to provide aid to the flood victims and acts of heroism are seen everyday:

These guys are saving a family heirloom.

Wait a second.... hey there fella... I think I need to start helping out down there ;)
