Ha ha .... yes very wet in Tasmania, just like NZ (I do hope you made it there). But you're right about the rest of the country, seems like we're having perpetual droughts followed by massive floods (gets all the regrowth going), followed by devastating bushfires. That has been the pattern the past few years.

And there is nothing that will keep the drop bears away, nothing ....
