What a strange set of circumstances. The worst natural disaster in Australian history befell Victoria with the state ravaged by bush-fires. At the same time a series of tropical storms brought masses of rain into Queensland, resulting in many small towns becoming isolated because of flooding.
Recently Coffs Harbour has been exposed to massive Southerlies, great for flushing out the left-over cold dirty winter water but with the S came a torrential downpour. In one 24hr period 0.25m of water was recorded. When people start expressing rainfall in metres things are serious. Some of the areas around Coffs have been declared disaster areas too. What of the ocean. The rivers have pumped tons of silt-laden water into the sea but on a more positive note, it appears that the warm EAC water may be here. Just a question of being patient and allowing the sea to clear.
