I love a sunburnt country,
a land of sweeping plains,
of ragged mountain ranges,
of droughts and flooding rains.
I lover her far horizons,
I love her jewel sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!

My heart is breaking for the people of Queensland this morning after a day of death and distruction in the Toowoomba region and other regions yesterday. There is more to come and I feel so helpless watching this wall of water destroy peoples lives.

Here is a link to the ABC for some pictures of this tragedy.
