And the Todd is flowing!

These photos were emailed to me from our friends at Alice Springs - they have just arrived back to the Alice after some weeks in Queensland. They managed to get through the floods in Longreach and other places back to the Alice, only to find that the usually totally dry Todd River was in full flow, in fact flooding in some areas. The GHAN train line has been washed away north of the Alice, so right now supplies and passengers are not getting up north via the railroad.

In the meantime Victoria and parts of New South Wales are on "catastrophic" bush fire alert today - 40 degrees plus with high winds.

And it's still super frigid in the Northern Hemisphere
