Just seen what's happening in Sydney. Hope those of you there are OK.
At least it's a change from fires.

Ver very soggy, no let up till Wednesday. No 750 testing, bummer
Great to see Tim Flannery who got paid millions from the Goverment got it so wrong with his “ our dams will never be full again “ so like Lemmins the Gov at the time listened to this quack an we wasted a shit load on a de sal plant which is in moth balls but we pay for oh and still are paying for

Don't worry, Brett - once la Nina is done and dusted and her little brother Nino returns we'll have plenty of ops to use our desal plants ... Vic has had one for a decade+. We were down to very dangerously low levels of water when they bit the bullet and built it. If they hadn't and the drought had lasted another year noone would be complaining. A Oz has one and I think it's in regular use?
Yep Vic gov got sucked in too but the same Tim Flannery.. here’s an idea even in a poor wet season there is oh so much water that goes out to the oceans.. a pipeline from the nth and build some more dams makes a whole lot more sense than some de sal plant that lays idle most of the time and we pay some foreign company to keep it in a ready state. ...

The original caption stated that everything brown are spiders.
Just saw this on the NSW Ducati web page.
Bells Line of Road is now closed for the foreseeable future. Engineers have determined that the latest landslide (just after lunch) has damaged the road to such an extent that there is a high risk of the whole mountainside and roadway collapsing into the gorge below. The excessive rain has eroded the structural integrity underneath the road, causing parts of the road to fall into the valley. Many motorists are stuck with no way of getting home.

No thanks... would rather deal with hungry bears and rabid moose than those critters!

Lee and i did a night ride from Melbourne to Adelaide once and we came across literally rivers of mice, so thick it looked like black water streaming across the road, and this went on for maybe 20+km - I doubt they could all have got out of the way of our wheels, so many must have ended up Dunlop fodder!!!

No funnel webs in that lot.
To be confronted by an aggressive funnel web in attack mode is something you'll not forget in a hurry.
