What a difference a week makes. This photo was taken at 12.58pm today.at North Avoca. The wind was so strong that I could barely stand to take the photo. The temperature was 23ºC and the rain was lashing down.
At the same time a week ago I was at Bathurst in 40ºC+ heat where it had not rained for many months.
The rain and the stormy conditions started on Thursday and there has been heavy rain since down most of the coast of New South Wales and Southern Queensland.There has been flooding in many areas due to the intensity of the rain and the fact that many drains and water channels are blocked with leaves and branches after so many months of drought.
Australia -a land of extreme contrasts.
