Power has been cut to 10,000 people and clean water for drinking is being trucked in to many places with all sewage and freah water treatment plants so badly damaged it will take weeks to restore them to working order. Most families in outlying towns and cities that flooded lost everything. It will also take months to get the mines working again so the state will have income to pay for repairs.

We are pulling for you and watching the telly ..The water is doing a lot of damage ,but thankfully there is not a tremendous loss of life as some other country's have experienced..The Ozzies are tough..and will come through this..
We are praying for relief for Australians in the effected area and hope that all the cane toads drown..
