A non-food related post:
I am so relieved that the floods in the land of the Queen are slowly receding. I'm thankful, very thankful that the peak didn't reach as high as 1974 either!
In all my life, I have never watched so much news! News on channel 7, 10, 9 and 2 occupied my whole week!
It was very saddening, and is still is, to know that your fellow Australians over in Queensland have all suffered tremendously. Many, losing not just their houses, but their homes, the one place where they feel comfortable to be themselves. Many lost family members, friends, mates.
First, there was the devastating bushfires in Victoria around a year ago and now, this devastating wreck that would approximately cost $1 Billion! Huge number, but I know that though the process will be slow, Australia or more so, Queensland, will get back on its feet again.
A post dedicated to all those people who lost their lives and for those who are still missing. For those who sacrificed their lives to save their loved ones, including that of the heroic Jordan Price and the parents who put their children's lives first before themselves. I know there are still others out there and I commend you for all that you've done.
For those people who were unexpectedly swept away and lost your lives, I pray for comfort for your family. All of you will never be forgotten.
Thank you as well to those people who are willing to volunteer and help out. The SES, the army/military, the local volunteers, the police, the Red Cross, International help. Julia Guillard and especially to Queensland premier Anna Bligh. I really do think you've done a wonderful job and are continuing to do so.
Sorry for sounding like Anna Bligh here. :)
As a Melbournian, you Queenslanders are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.
