Queensland floods

11 Jan

Queensland has had the worst week with the floods!

I hope that doesn’t get any worse - I am worried.

My daughters dad, Jason Godden, is in Caboolture with his wife, Rita – Steffi’s step mom. They live there. I hope they are ok.

Tasmania’s legal opium trade

10 Jan

WHILE governments around the world struggle to contain the illegal opium trade, hundreds of farmers in Tasmania are preparing to cash in on a multimillion dollar trade in legal opium.

The poppy is Tasmania’s biggest export crop, and the industry regularly brings in millions of dollars for Tasmania.

While the trade is entirely legitimate, it is also tightly regulated, and farmers must undergo annual police checks if they want to have their licences renewed.

How do you stay entertained when you are snowed in?

10 Jan

I don’t know as we don’t live anywhere near snow! But I have been flooded in – :) .

I remember heaps of floods when I was a child and when I was older!

In 1990 there was a flood in Forbes (where I live) and I was pregnant with Steffi. I was at my friends house in Barwin Street. I wanted to go to the shop, Barry Sullivan’s, for smokes and stuff. The flood was really strong around the corner and I managed to struggle though the water and get the stuff and come back. I almost fell in quite a few time. I have never forgotten that day!
