For the first time in our lives, wicked winter weather didn't mean snow, ice, sleet and slush. It has been raining for weeks; it's very dreary, grey and very depressing. We are very lucky that we aren't getting the brunt of it. Northern Queensland is under water; flooding has emerged entire towns which is problematic enough, but throw venimous snakes and crocodiles into the mix and things get interesting.
We went for a walk on the beach in front of our house, which used to be a good 20 meters to the low tide line and it's gone. There is a twenty foot cliff that drops down to the beach. There are black volcanic rocks everywhere that weren't visible two weeks ago. It is shocking what a war Mother Nature has ravished on our little patch of sand.
