The Victoria bushfire tragedy which claimed 108 or more lives so far around Melbourne and other parts of the state of Victoria, was an appalling and catastrophic tragedy.

My story here
But further north in Australia,floods had ravaged towns in north Queensland. 2900 homes had been hit, 50 were waterlogged, uninhabitable and unrecognisable. 300 mils of rain had fallen over night. Electricity had been cut and fuel for emergency back-up generators was running short. Three crocodiles had allegedly been washed into streets, one being hit by a car in Normanton. The australian army had been called in to help.
