The above photo is one of the many causeways we need to cross on our way to work each day. Three weeks ago, when most of South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales were flooded, we were flooded in and unable to get to work (or anywhere). This happens every once in a while and is to be expected living in the bush, but here we are three weeks later, in the same situation. The creeks are high, all the bridges are under water, the causeways are under, the roads are shut. We are home.

I love being home, tucked up all safe and warm while the world goes on without me. This time however, these rains have done so much damage to so many people, I feel guilty to be safe, dry and warm while so many have lost so much.

Nature can be unforgiving and She seeks to balance herself without noticing all the little creatures in the way. We are little creatures to Nature, we don’t count at all in the big scheme of things. I think it is time for us (as a species, as a community and as a family) to get our bottoms in gear and get ready for some really hard times to come.
Wow. I’m so glad that you’re safe. Did you have enough supplies in to hunker down comfortably? I’m guessing that you did, being as organised as you are. I agree, I think we’re going to have to get used to these exceptional weather happenings.
We always have enough supplies for a week, sometimes for two. We are sharing the abundant water experience for once.
Shhheeeeeit .. i missed this .. i been ‘tucked up’ in my world for awhile now eeek .. im glad you’re alright! .. we’re getting that kind of weather atm .. i love it lol but its usually not till a week later i realise what’s happening around me .. ie, tornado … i missed that .. torrential rain, flooding .. lol .. and here’s me in the window watching it rain lol xxx
I know right! I love being safe and warm and wrapped up in my little world. There is so much damage though. The roads have been wrecked, entire towns washed away (almost a city actually) and so much soil lost to the water.
Holy shit .. wow .. well im glad you’re safe x
