[QUOTE="Australian, post: 627969, member: 8793"] What a mix of climatic extremes here in Australia over the past few weeks. We have horrendous floods in much of North Queensland and disastrous fire in Victoria. 25 people are confirmed dead overnight in Victoria with the total more likely be around 40. Temperatures got up to 47/47 degrees celcius in many parts of Victoria,South Australia and New South Wales yesterday. NSW will be under threat as well as Victoria today. It has cooled down in Victoria today but still there are fires out of control in the warmer areas of Victoria. Well over 200 homes have been lost. 18 people have been admitted to the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne overnight with serious burns. this hospital is world renowned for its burns treatment. These main fires are only 60 ks north and north east of Melbourne.The rain has continued up north. Over the past week upwards of 40 inches of rain has fallen. The town of Ingham has been flooded for the past week. Floodwaters dropped yesterday then they rose again with a further 10 inches+ of rain. Ingham is near Townsville on the coast of far north Queensland. We are so lucky where we live. No fire or flood problems here. Colin [/QUOTE]
