Hope we get some rain before the summer, my garden is so dry and I haven't got around to watering it
Waiting for that storm they keep telling us is on its way but seems to blow out to sea and we miss it
But not tooooo much rain mind you

Probably it will be in some parts of Australia but by the way all the reports go hot dry summers are over for at least 100 years.

In the words of Anna Bligh the former Premier of Qld Rb "We are Queenslanders, we are tough, we get knocked down and we get back up again"
Or words to that effect?
or]Rbjustme: Yes..I Know, I thought, and it's just my thoughts, that she handled the crisis very well, but I wasn't a Queensland resident.
She did Rb no doubt about that - but I can't help feeling a lot of it was 'photo opps' or just good PR?
After all she is a politician?
AgentAjax: It has me farked why he got voted in????????? he made a mess of Brisbane as a lord mayor
think it was a case of they didn't vote for Newman - they voted against Labor and Anna bligh?

I figured that but still the vote should have been in the interest of the state over political sides.

Yes, who knows these days and I really can't comment to much as I did not live in your state. As you say she is/was a politician, and PR plays a big roll with voters, which is wrong, but people are vulnerable to this sort of thing and the politicians see it as a way to gain votes instead of policies.

Qld did very well under the gerry mander system of Jo B-K where the whole state was truly represented, not just the majority of people who lived in the small section of Brisbane and the Gold Retiree Coast.
If you look back to pre-Whitlam days, Qld had totally free medicare and a lot of infrastructure paid by paid by the mining companies. And the education system was ahead in so many ways.
But we have had "progress" in so many ways since Uncle Jo and his doubtfull form of Govt was kicked out.

In Melbourne we had our spring weather back in winter. Now it's back to winter weather in spring!

Lovely and warm here today, but incredibly windy.
We have had strong winds on the GC for days. How come there is such a huge distance between Sydney/GC yet those winds seem to be all down the East Coast?
Love it at the moment, could handle this all summer

Apparently they are forecasting strong winds again here in Vic, 100kmh. I was driving back from a small show I did for the elderly this afternoon and had to slow down to a crawl.... an.."Australian crawl".. Good name for a band?? 
due to a hail storm.
