How prophetic Mike....We got that.

2010 had torrential rain during the months of the year which are normally the dry months of the year.So much rain(in fact) during the dry months of the year,that when the wet months of the year rolled-around(and they are absolutely certain in sub-tropical Queensland),the ground was utterly saturated.When the seasonal rains came,the ground had no capacity to absorb/take-up the moisture.Thus late 2010/early 2011 we had one flood area the size of France and Germany combined,with a sideline a few weeks later of Flooding the populated greater Brisbane/Ipswich area.

The writing was on the wall for a cyclone,and in Yasi we got a Boomer.The bad news?Cyclone season has only just begin(yes,we have a cylcone season).There can be no doubt that there may be more.I can only hope that they stay away from where I live.

I'm not going to worry about what has not yet happened.That's a recipe for insanity.

So other than the crocodiles,deadly poisonous spiders,agonisingly fatal jellyfish,snakes which make Cobras look impotent,Bull sharks,Tiger sharks,Great White sharks,when the weather is good(think Winter )Queensland is a really nice place to live.
