Water Water Everywhere.........

Those photos are amazing. So sad for the families, business, farmers. And the lost crops impacts many more.

Loved seeing the 'roos being saved! So Wom, they are tame? That one man has 5 of them in his boat, and from what I can see, they aren't tied at all. That surprised me. "Man" is not a direct threat to them? (I know we destroy their habitat.)

The pics of the airport runways, the railway and the highways really tell alot.

No, they're not tame. But I think they'd be pretty happy to be out of the water.

Probably in shock that they were in it!

Thank you.

Floods are not that bad really. Animals generally find somewhere safe or people have time to rescue them. Bushfires are our real problem. The amount of wild animals that die in fires is horrific, there is no escape for them.

I don't want to even think about that. I've had nightmares about fire since I can remember; no, nothing happened, just one of those things. I must the only Girl Scout in history who was never able to light a match. I was in my 20's when I finally did that!

And when I bought this house, I seriously wanted to replace the gas range w/ electric, I am so afraid of open flames.

Poor animals . . . .
