Before, it was the drought. Everyone was talking about the lack of rainfall. The farmers were struggling to keep their crops alive. The government was deciding on new ways on how to beat the drought and enforcing strick water saving rules.

But with the arrival of winter, it has gone mostly into the other side. There were a couple of strong storms in New South Wales that caused widespread flooding and damage to property. Two, three days ago another heavy rainfall this time closer to where I live but still some way off. Wide spread flooding again with at least one person killed when a tree fell on his house. They seem to be recovering now but there has been more rain forecast..
