It was only two years ago that parts of Australia was inundated by flooding that made world wide news.
Not so long ago we as a country was suffering from extreme heat that broke records, and the resulting fires which burnt out more than 70,000 hectares which wiped out wildlife, habitats, farm stock and homes.
Today we are glued to the news of record breaking floods in Queensland which bought deja vu to residents in low lying areas. Heart wrenching memories came back to those who recovered and rebuilt their lives after the 2011 floods.
My heart goes out to them and for some fellow snobs who I,m sure will put their coffee enjoyment on hold.
I was particularly disappointed to see on ABC1 news this morning that a lady at Bundaberg tearily said she got charged $11.00 for a cup of coffee whilst her houseboat where she lives with her kids went under! The news crew said they would investigate why cafes are taking advantage of people in this dire situation
. I would be interested to see the outcome.
There is a feeling that we have accepted that the increase of these extreme weather events is due to the ongoing global climate change bought about by both natural and man made elements.
