    The 'sandbaggers' (aka State Emergency Services) Flood are being kept very busy in many areas of Australia's Eastern coast over the past couple of weeks.

    There have been a number of fatalities, and considerable property damage and human hardship in the affected areas. Australians are resilient folk, and communities will pull together to recover from natural disasters: It's just a fact of life in Australia, that natural disasters will happen on a regular basis.

    It has to be said, that some Australians have risen to the challenge of dealing with disaster in novel, creative ways:

    Either way ,, I hope you all fare well .

    Some water under my house but Fromm seepage (3000l I think I pumped over the past couple of weeks) but much better than those who’s home were under water above the roof level.

    we had the same shit in Canada happen , and it was delivered to an area . I live in a rain forest , while the lower mainland and the interior were hit , we got little , it passed over us and then they made it drop washing out the farm lands / dropping bridges and killing livestock ..
    weather comes in from the west onto canada , im as west of canada you can go !!.
    I see BS happened here .

    Too bad all that water was wasted flowing into the sea... send it to the outback!

    It's a nice thought, but geography and topography makes that more than a little difficult....flood water will always flow to its lowest level...just not in the ways that would benefit agriculture and grazing in any meaningful way.

    Since there is a propensity to flooding , why aren’t Chanel’s deepened to provide better drainage?

    Lakes are nice with hydro-electric capability's, One gets almost free green energy, boating and fishing, No swimming as the croc's stay hungry. What is more greener than free running water generating electricity?
