saw a bit this morning on TV about northern Oz being flooded while southern Oz is burning up hot and dry.
they showed some kid clinging to a tree in the middle of a flash flood---he was saved but the guy who saved him was almost killed himself while doing it.
Kids just lucky a dropbear didn't get him first.
follow up Oz question: how come you guys celebrate things (like, oh, I dunno, a bank holiday or something) but NSW never does it the day you guys do it? On my calendar it'll say such and such celebrated except for NSW. What's with NSW? Too good for the rest of the continent?
