This time last year, a lot of the east coast was on fire.
This year much is flooded.
Torrential rain in northern New South Wales and southern Queensland has caused rivers to rise and towns to flood.
In fact there has been substantial rainfall over a great deal of the country.
Accompanying wind storms have caused big surf and devastating beach erosion.
We missed out on the nasty weather getting around only 30mm of welcome rain.
In other disappointing news Covid has raised its ugly head once more after many days of zero cases with a cluster emerging in northern Sydney. Seventeen cases have been diagnosed in the last 24 hours.
Immediately other states have invoked quarantine measures on New South Wales. People in that area have been asked to stay home.
With the Christmas holiday season just upon us and city residents heading for their vacations in our region over the next six weeks, this is concerning.
As a safety measure the co driver and I will begin self isolating once more.
The last few weeks of relative ‘freedom’ were nice but we both had the feeling that another outbreak was inevitable. Covid fragments had been showing up in sewerage systems across Sydney and even Batemans Bay, twenty five minutes drive to our south.
