We come to Australia once in our lives, and what happens?? They get flooded!

However we do live a good life: we escaped the closed roads and flooded cities by a week. It’s funny to watch the news and see the town we were in just a short while back completely swimmimg in water…. thinking that the campsite we stayed at was directly by the river, picture our super campervan floating around with us in it…. Lucky we are.

Actually we haven’t had this much sunshine since we arrived in Australia. The first month and a half we had cold and rain, with a peak at Christmas (we basically spent the time under a tarp in front of our van) when it rained non-stop for 3 days, but since then the days are hot and sunny, with the odd refreshing shower in the night. And this is the tropics, we’re supposed to be in the rain season!

The only effect of the floodings we can feel is the lack of fresh items at the grocery store: no more vegetables except the old potato, just old cuts of meat, half empty shelves everywhere. It’s OK, noodles are also good 🙂
